I am an ESOL teacher with more than 20 years of experience. Teaching is something I have loved to do since I was in high school, when I would sneak out of my chemistry class and go help the second grade teacher teach English to the little ones.

Although I have taught all the way from kindergarten to college, I have to say, fifth grade is my favorite.I really enjoy the challenge of working with the young ones. There is something about being ten years old and not wanting to be treated like a little kid anymore , that triggers their desire to explore and to expand their inquiring minds.

When I'm not teaching, I love to travel, take pictures and learn new languages. I have been to many fascinating places around the world, but always end up longing to spend another Christmas in my beautiful Cali, Colombia.

If you were ever to take a peek at my new years resolution you would find the following:
