I am a bilingual educator with a background in immigration law and civic education. I hold an Associate's degree from Miami Dade College, a Paralegal Studies certificate from the University of Miami, and am currently working toward a Bachelor's degree in Political Science, giving me a strong foundation in U.S. government, law, and civics, the exact subject matter tested on the naturalization exam.

For the past several years, I have taught U.S. citizenship classes live online, three times a week, helping adult students prepare for every part of the naturalization interview: the 100/128 civics questions, the English reading and writing portions, and mock interview practice. My students range widely in age and educational background, from young adults to seniors in their seventies and eighties, and many come to me after struggling with self-study or larger classroom settings. I tailor my approach to each student, using repetition, real-life context, and a patient, encouraging style, especially for students who need extra support due to memory, learning, or comprehension difficulties.

In addition to teaching, I work as a paralegal and run my own immigration document preparation and certified translation business, working directly with Spanish-speaking clients on their immigration paperwork. This gives me a deep, practical understanding of the citizenship process from start to finish, not just the test itself, which I bring into every lesson. My goal with every student is the same: to build their confidence so they walk into their interview prepared and calm, not just knowing the answers, but understanding them.

Approved Subjects

ESL/ESOL

ESL/ESOL

I have years of experience teaching English as a second language to adult Spanish-speaking students, primarily in the context of U.S. citizenship exam preparation. I work with students at many different levels, from beginners building basic vocabulary and grammar to more advanced students refining their reading, writing, and conversational skills for the naturalization interview. My teaching approach focuses on practical, real-world English, using patient repetition and clear examples rather than heavy grammar theory, which works especially well for adult learners who are also managing work and family responsibilities. I also draw on my background in immigration document preparation to give students context on why certain English skills matter for their specific goals.
Spanish

Spanish

I am a native Spanish speaker with years of experience using the language professionally in both education and legal document translation. I teach live citizenship classes in Spanish several times a week and provide certified translations of official documents such as birth certificates and legal records. I also work one-on-one with students of varying levels, from conversational Spanish to specialized vocabulary needed for immigration and legal contexts. My teaching style is patient and practical, focused on real-world use of the language.
Study Skills

Study Skills

I work with adult students on building the study skills and executive functioning strategies they need to succeed, especially those returning to structured learning after time away from school. My approach focuses on practical, individualized strategies such as time management, organization, active reading, and effective note-taking methods like the Cornell system, rather than generic advice that ignores a student's specific challenges. I place strong emphasis on task initiation and student buy-in, helping learners recognize their own obstacles and take ownership of their progress. This same approach has shaped how I help students prepare for the U.S. citizenship exam, where strong study habits make a real difference in outcomes.
USCIS

USCIS

I hold a Paralegal Studies certificate from the University of Miami and have spent years working directly with USCIS forms and procedures, both as a paralegal and through my own immigration document preparation business. I teach live U.S. citizenship classes multiple times a week, guiding students through the naturalization process, civics questions, and interview preparation from start to finish. My work includes preparing and reviewing immigration paperwork such as I-130, I-485, I-751, and N-400 forms, so I understand USCIS requirements and common pitfalls firsthand. I bring that real-world, practical knowledge into every lesson, not just textbook information.
