Meet some of our Teachers of Young Learners

I started teaching in 2016 right after finishing university in Trinidad and Tobago. I have mainly taught in Nicaragua, France, Colombia, and now in Japan. I am also a teacher trainer and academic manager. The best part of being in the classroom is building a community where we all learn from each other.

I have been teaching English since 2011. I have worked with adults, teenagers and children in the UAE, Vietnam, and Japan.
