About Teresa


Bio

I am a language educator from Peru. I started teaching EFL and Spanish in a private academy in Lima in 1984. My professional strength lies on tailoring lessons and programs to suit students' needs. In a time where academies relied on one-size-fits-all textbooks, my methods and constant research awarded me a USAID scholarship to get TESOL certification in Portland State University in 1990. I moved to the USA in 1995 and worked in the language profession in Chicago, Boston, Northern Kentucky,...

I moved to the USA in 1995 and worked in the language profession in Chicago, Boston, Northern Kentucky, and lastly Concord, NC.
I went back to school in Northern Kentucky. I hold a BA and MA in English Literature with emphasis in Spanish. I have worked with ages pre-school to corporate level, my passion being student-centered curriculum design.

Approved Subjects

ESL/ESOL

ESL/ESOL

I became a teacher of English as a foreign language in Lima, Peru. I taught all ages at a private academy from 1984 to 1995. During that time, I earned a scholarship to pursue a TESOL certification in Portland, OR. Later, I went back to school to earn a BA and MA in English Literature.
Grammar

Grammar

During my career, I have worked with children, teenagers, college students, and adults who needed English for a variety of purposes. For many programs, grammar was the focal point: test requirement for schools or work (including TOEFL, GRE, GMAT). I also worked with translation / interpretation college-level students.
Spanish

Spanish

I am a native Spanish speaker from Peru. I have taught Spanish and English to school age children, college students, and adults since 1984. I have developed programs for conversational/social, academic, professional, and literary pursuits. I believe in clearly understanding each student's needs and wants before I design the lessons.
