Basic English Course A1 – A-2 (CEFR)

Acerca del profesor

Hello everyone! I’m a Canadian-born language trainer with more than 25 years of experience teaching English. Over the years, I’ve worked in many areas of ESL, including TOEFL preparation, teacher training, conversation courses, and professional English.

Throughout my career, I’ve had the opportunity to work with thousands of students from different backgrounds. I’ve also experienced the challenge of learning a second language myself — Spanish — which has given me a deeper understanding of what language learners go through.

Outside of teaching, I enjoy reading, listening to music (both classic and new), and traveling whenever I can.

I’m passionate about helping people strengthen their English skills so they can expand their academic, professional, and personal opportunities. Whether your goal is greater confidence, clearer communication, or career growth, I look forward to working together and helping you move closer to your English goals.

¡Hola a todos! Soy un profesor de idiomas nacido en Canadá con más de 25 años de experiencia enseñando inglés. A lo largo de mi carrera he trabajado en distintas áreas del inglés como segundo idioma (ESL), incluyendo preparación para el TOEFL, formación de profesores, cursos de conversación e inglés para el ámbito profesional.

He tenido la oportunidad de trabajar con miles de estudiantes de diferentes países y contextos. También he vivido la experiencia de aprender un segundo idioma —el español— lo que me ha ayudado a entender mejor los retos y las necesidades de quienes estudian un idioma.

Fuera del aula, disfruto leer, escuchar música (tanto clásica como actual) y viajar siempre que tengo la oportunidad.

Me gusta ayudar a las personas a mejorar su inglés para abrir más oportunidades en sus estudios, su carrera o simplemente por satisfacción personal. Si buscas ganar más confianza, comunicarte con mayor claridad o avanzar profesionalmente, estaré encantado de acompañarte en el pro

Experiencia

I have almost 21 years of teaching experience. I started working in Santo Domingo, the Dominican Republic in 2000 and continued working there for 16 years. Since then, I have been working independently, offering Language service in local companies. These services have included 'language classes', 'Business English', translation from Spanish to English, and I also offer Interpreting services.

During that period from 2000 to the present, I have worked exclusively in the language industry. I have 10's of thousands of hours of teaching experience both in the classroom and online.
