About Me
Hello! I am an American living here in Guadalajara. I’m currently enrolled at a local university to become certified English teacher where I’ve taught classes of adult students. I have a bachelors degree awarded with honors in a non related field. I have private tutored several adult non English speaking Mexicans. I like to find out about you and your interests and tie my lesson plans to your needs and lifestyle. Most of my students enjoy conversations about travel to the United States. I have traveled to 17 counties, 46 American states and 7 ‘ Mexican states. I have owned several business’s and I do speak Spanish. However I try to keep my classes 100% in English.

Spanish language is a powerful tool since it is spoken around the world by millions of people. I have been teaching for the past 10 years in America, Europe, Asia, Russia and many other countries. I'm certified by DELE and CELTA along with other certificates.

I am a native Mexican born in Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico. Since I was little I have had a lot of curiosity and facility for foreign languages, I have had the opportunity over the last 15 years of my life to travel, study, live and work in different parts of the world... I have been lucky!

The first thing we will do even before starting the course is determine your current level of Spanish, whether you are a beginner, intermediate or advanced. We will get to know each other a little, I will ask you questions like: What do you do? What or why are you interested in learning the Spanish language? Why are you interested in the Latin Mexican accent more than the Spanish or South American accent? What is your goal with the Spanish language? among other questions to decide the best methodology, within my methodology, that adapts to your personal needs, once we are at this specific point... ready, we can begin!

I use methodology in my classes, that is, books, however not all my class is based on them since it seems a bit tedious to base my class on a book, I take it only as a guide.

In class we will see practical, real cases and depending on your level I will speak complete Spanish during class or perhaps partially, my goal is for you to feel 100% comfortable.

My methodology is assimilative, intuitive, dynamic and revolutionary! Depending on your assimilation we will see results in the first weeks! I will teach you how to act like a Mexican and even when you speak, people will think that you are Mexican. Speaking a different language is becoming another person within your own body, it's quite an act! Let's act!
