As an instructor at the University of Utah English Language Institute, I bring four years of university-level experience to your language goals. Holding a bachelor's degree in Spanish from Georgia Southern University, I am fully bilingual and understand language acquisition from both a teaching and a learning perspective.
I am TESOL certified and an active member of the TESOL International Organization, ensuring my methods meet global standards. Whether you are a native Spanish speaker navigating an English workplace or an international scholar adapting to American academia, my background ensures a structured, empathetic, and culturally aware approach to your success. My expertise covers academic English from beginner to advanced levels. I design high-impact lessons across grammar, listening, speaking, reading, and writing. Rather than focusing only on conversational English, I equip students with the sophisticated vocabulary, structural precision, and reading comprehension strategies required to excel in professional settings, university classrooms, and corporate environments.
My instructional depth is enhanced by my own extensive academic background, holding bachelor's, master's, and doctorate degrees in Vocal Performance from the University of Utah and Florida State University, giving me a first-hand understanding of elite academic environments and rigorous communication standards. I also specialize in intensive TOEFL preparation, teaching precise time-management strategies, essay-structuring frameworks, and oral-response techniques that maximize your score.
My background in high-level vocal pedagogy uniquely equips me to assist students with advanced phonetics, accent reduction, and confident oral projection. My goal is to transform test-taking anxiety into measurable confidence, ensuring you meet and exceed benchmark scores for universities or licensing boards. Through targeted drills and personalized feedback, I look forward to helping you unlock your full potential.
