Certified Tutor

I have worked in the education sector for over thirty years, during which I have taught more than 70,000 students. My career has spanned all educational levels, including public institutions and private enterprises.

Regarding my educational background, I hold a bachelor's degree in Communication, a master's degree in Communication and Educational Technologies, and a Ph.D. in Educational Sciences.

In addition to my experience and educational qualifications, I believe that my passion for teaching is extremely important. One of my greatest joys is watching my students learn and enjoy the process. I view my students as whole individuals, so I focus not only on their understanding of concepts but also on developing competencies that will benefit both them and society.

Throughout my career, I have taught many subjects, but the most challenging ones have been Spanish and English as a Foreign Language. I have a strong command of teaching these languages, and some of my former students are now teachers themselves.

My teaching philosophy centers on having students learn by discovering knowledge and applying it to simulated real-life situations, where practice leads to mastery. My students first observe and utilize the knowledge they acquire, and then they reflect on what they have learned. This approach makes learning meaningful and enduring.

Outside of teaching, I enjoy reading and watching high-quality movies and series. I also have a passion for karaoke, even though I'm not the best singer. I appreciate sharing these experiences with interesting, funny, and intelligent people with whom I can communicate and trust.

Let's embark on a learning experience together.
