Hello!

CeCe, as she is affectionately called, hails from Tha “D”, born and raised in Detroit, Michigan. Looking for adventure and purpose in life, her educational journey took her to several places, where she fell in love with Miami, Florida, and now currently resides. She has always had a passion for teaching, even her teachers in high school saw her abilities before she knew it herself. She took a different path than what was laid out for her, receiving a Bachelor's in Communications with a minor in Business. She pursued a career in the financial industry for several years. Throughout her career, she always continued her private tutoring business which she has never considered work. After self-reflection in 2019, she decided to pursue that passion for education full-time, which led her to teach English. Looking for a change of scenery and an atmosphere that would let her grow more in the field, she applied for the program to teach in Spain. A highlight of her teaching experience so far has been having her students' run up to her to show that they have memorized the English alphabet, with the sounds, and the American Sign Langauge for each letter after two months of instruction. CeCe is now both determined and motivated more than ever to continue her personal mission to get students to higher education, through higher education, and beyond higher education. When she is not teaching English or Math, you can find her expanding her ministry by teaching the Bible and exploring all that Spanish culture has to offer, from history to language to food to music!

I like exploring cultures. I love traveling to different countries. I have done 10 solo trips to countries in Central America and Europe. I enjoy reading restaurant reviews and trying the different foods recommended. I enjoy reading the Bible, financial lending, managing money, enhancing credit tradelines, learning Spanish, becoming an entrepreneur, and learning new things about the human body. I have lived in Spain for 1 year to enhance my Spanish. So I understand the journey you are on with learning English. This is why my teaching style includes a lot of patience.
