About your english tutor

I am finishing my Modern Languages bachelor's degree with a minor in Translation. I have worked with many different types of students of all ages and ethicities, in different academies for at least 6 years. I also took a Teaching English as a Second Language (TESL) course for a year, to perfectionate the methology I use in my classes. I also teach first year students from my major at my the Central University of Venezuela, which is the most prestigious University that there is here in the country.
