Students and clients receive dedicated and personalized attention and instruction directly from me. I happily work only for you to provide quality service that is tailored to align with your needs and goals.
Under certain circumstances a limited number of in-person classes can be scheduled at my location in Zákia, or at a convenient location easily reachable, for example, Zibatá, El Refugio, Juriquilla, Querétaro. Additional costs for time and travel might apply.
Online With Zoom Video Conferencing Everywhere Else.
Methodology
I was born in the USA, and I lived and worked there all my life (until 2021). I am now a Permanent Resident of Mexico. I believe that my concepts and methodology for teaching English to students in Mexico and in other countries is quite different than what you regularly encounter.
MY FULL ATTENTION
-
I teach all the classes myself, so you can benefit from my expertise and feedback. I am not a school, but an individual tutor who cares about your progress and success.
-
You will receive one to one instruction that is tailored to your level, interests and learning style.
-
You will have my undivided attention throughout the course, and you will be able to ask questions, practice your skills and get immediate feedback.
CONVENIENT
If you are looking for a professional, effective and enjoyable way to learn English online, you have come to the right place.
My online courses are designed to offer you a flexible and convenient way to learn English. Unlike other programs, you do not need to enroll, register, pay any administration fees, or extra costs.
I AM THE SOLE TEACHER
Unlike other online courses that are pre-recorded or outsourced to different instructors, I offer a unique learning experience that is personalized and customized to your needs and goals.
MATERIALS
All the materials you need are provided free of charge. You only pay for the class time you schedule with me - nothing else!

About Me
With experience in administrative and supervisory roles in the insurance, claims adjusting, law firm, corporate, governmental, private, and nonprofit settings, I am a highly motivated and efficient trainer and career coach.
I moved from Dallas, Texas, to Querétaro in January 2021. I am semi-retired, but I would like to spend some time helping a limited number of learners with whatever English needs they may have.
As such, I will be working with a few individuals to provide intensive and effective lessons or help with special projects.
I worked for two employers since 2006. In those roles, and previously, I was the Office Manager, Administrator, or assisted upper management including the CEO, first-named partner, or C-suite executive.
My work has always involved the trust and confidence of the most senior members of management, from whom I have excellent recommendations and letters of reference which you can view in the Testimonials section of this website.
I possess a wealth of soft skills and other intangibles, and I carry out my work with my heart as well as with my hands and mind.
I am a mature, responsible person with old-fashioned values and work ethic, but with a deep appreciation for and knowledge of modern-day systems and technologies.

Life, Beauty, Respect, and Opportunity!
Bonhomie and Community
Success
I do not believe someone is successful only if they make a certain amount of money or attain some level of education or employment. Just as there are many types of intelligence, I believe success can be celebrated similarly. It is important to me that I like the person I see when I look in the mirror. I want to live a good life and I want those who are important to me to be proud of me. I want to behave ethically and morally at work and at home because that is how I will achieve the better life, regardless of what other people are doing. I know that I have an undeniable will to live, to learn, and to be happy. Therefore, I do those things that allow me to live, to learn, and to be happy. I know that I enjoy freedom in all its forms, including the kind that comes from money and not having a lot of debt so I enjoy work. I love to learn so I enjoy pushing beyond my comfort zone. I am thankful to my family, friends, and my dogs because they make me happy. I know that I will be remembered for the work I put forth and for the things I create that outlive my life and the memories others have of me. Life involves work and effort. In return, we are rewarded in one way or another. Whether we receive recognition or awards matters less because we grow and move forward with every accomplishment whether others notice or not. In view of all this, I am content to continue my life with as much effort as possible in a forward direction in all areas and hopefully ever with only a minimum of backslide.
