About Me

italki teacher since Sep 11, 2018

Hello! I am a professional English teacher with 4 years of experience and I absolutely love traveling and learning about different cultures and traditions. Since a young age, I had to move around to many countries. During this time I made friends from all over the world! After getting my B.A. in linguistics from my university, I got a 120 Hour Professional TEFL certificate that allowed me to continue to traveling the world. I had the opportunity to teach elementary and middles school students in South Korea, and adults in Australia. My hobbies include yoga, trying new food, nature, dance, and art. I would love to learn about your country!

Me as a Teacher

My whole life has been about learning languages. From a young age a grew up in a home speaking both English and Spanish. I taught myself Korean and Japanese at 13 years old! Later, in school I also studied Portuguese, French, and Italian! I have worked with various methods of language learning as a student and as a teacher. I do not believe students should be memorizing long lists of vocabulary or giving boring, repetitive and useless tasks because that has never worked for me. All of these experiences learning different languages, along with my education, has given me the chance to understand language in a very unique way and deliver effective classes that work for all students.

My lessons & teaching style

***ALL Packages include a FREE student account for digital assignments!*** We will use a high quality online curriculum service for all of our material! My lessons are focused around real-life applications and situations. I teach a hands-on approach to language and cut the useless exercises that most traditional classroom books give you. I create specialized classes that are uniquely made for YOUR needs. I enjoy teaching in a relaxed and fun environment with interesting conversations and topics! This worked for me personally when learning languages. I am here to help you succeed in whatever your goal is with the English language :) I also have experience with all levels and all ages!

Isabela is always energetic and helpful. Sometimes when I feel that learning English is tough, she just waited and cheered until I found my answer myself.
