TESOL + CELT-P·IH examiner·Conversation·General English

I've taught English for twelve years in language institutes, in person and online. I built my career mainly in Uruguay, and before that in Venezuela, with students of different levels and ages, mostly adults. I joined Signal in 2026.

My classes are communicative: you use the language from minute one. Since 2021 I’ve examined International House national exams, and I was part of Plan Ceibal. I also trained in dialogue facilitation with Soliya, which gave me powerful tools for connecting with people and understanding their perspectives. That, to me, is what a good class is: a real conversation.

What I teach

Three things I'm built for.

To use the language for real, not just study it. Choose what fits and we'll sequence the rest in your level test.

Conversation in small groups (B2 and up)

Topic-driven groups with a communicative approach: you talk, the group responds, and the language grows out of real exchange, with correction that doesn't cut off your thinking.

Groups of 12 or fewer · one or two sessions a week

General English for adults (all levels)

Twelve years in language institutes, in person and online: communicative learning paced for your level and your goals, in semesters with formal assessments.

Small groups · 75-minute classes

Speaking practice with an examiner's eye

Since 2021 I've examined International House national exams. We practice speaking the way it's actually scored: clear criteria, honest feedback, no surprises on the day.
