About Me

Hello! With over 22 years of teaching experience, I specialize in **business English** (job interviews, customer service) and **TOEFL preparation**, helping students achieve professional and academic goals. My lessons blend structure with cultural curiosity—I love learning about your world while guiding you through mine. Having traveled across the Americas and Europe, I weave real-world insights into classes, making language practical and engaging. Let’s turn challenges into progress—one conversation at a time!Me as a Teacher
Teaching is a family profession. Afterwards, I started working very young, and have continued teaching ever since for more than 22 years. I’ve taught various groups: from kindergarten all the way up to post-graduate.
A teacher should always study and continue to learn. So through my career I’ve gathered many certificates, diplomas and other documents including TOEFL Test preparation, First Certificate, Advanced Reading, Teaching by Competences, etc.
Graduated with a minor in Human Resources, I’ve also studied ESL for business skills like job interviews, accounting, importing and exporting in North America, and customer service. My lessons & teaching style
In the first lesson I usually do a simple game that allows me to diagnose your level, your needs and areas to work on. Afterwards, I ask students to think of their goals.
We plan a program based on your own needs and goals using online resources, books, PDFs, images, etc. The lesson can include (a student may chose) homework that is checked outside class time, and all classes are provided with written notes so students can, after the lesson, review the vocabulary or structures addressed.
Flexibility is key, so open communication is encouraged because it's about helping you achieve your goal.My teaching material

Leslie masters perfectly the art of conversation. As well as the substance (interesting topics with well-read teacher, varied vocabularies, English expression, pronunciation , grammar rules) than the form ( sense of humor, vivid tone, casual behavior).

"Stay calm, take your breathe and relax."
Although this suggestion is still hard for me at present,
it is an undoubtedly useful suggestion guiding me to begin withstanding the pressure.
I will try my best to carry out it.

Since it was my first lesson with Leslie, we had easy conversations like self-introduction and a couple of questions. Leslie pointed out my pronunciation problem and then gave me practical tips to improve. She is a really passionate and experienced teacher. I had fun talking to her.
