Hello!

AVAILABILITY MONDAY-SATURDAY! 📚 📅 👩‍🏫 Hello! My name is Teacher Mary 🌻 and I am certified as an English as a Second Language (ESL) teacher with experience in diverse areas of ESL education and with different age groups. I am bilingual in English and Spanish 🌵 and I know what the journey is like to learn another language. 🌎 I also work as a Medical Interpreter 👩‍⚕️, Translator 📚, and photographer 📷. I hope to help you reach your goals and have a fun, relaxed time in conversation while achieving that with you. Some topics I like are music 🎶, language and linguistics, children, family,🍪 baking 🍰, and movies 📽️. Let's get started! I teach Mondays through Saturdays (every day except for Sundays) on Cambly and Cambly Kids, please check my availability and reserve your lesson! ❤️

I sing 🎤🎶, play the violin 🎻, I'm learning to play the bass guitar 🎸and the piano 🎹. I am married and we have three beautiful bilingual children and I live in Mexico 🌵🌮 with my family 👨‍👩‍👦‍👦. I also love baking cakes 🎂 and desserts 🧁. I teach ESL as my full time job and it is my passion to help my students become confident lifelong learners and to reach fluency in English while enjoying the process. 🌻

Teaching Style

For adults, I like to implement conversational English whenever possible, talking about current events, topics that my students are passionate about, and I am certified in English grammar as well. For children and adolescents, I love to use music and games to help them engage in the class, and I encourage them to overcome their fear of speaking.
