Hello!

Hello! I am Elle Michele. I have been an English as a Second Language teacher for the last 18 years. I've taught at language academies, primary school and middle school. I have been teaching on-line for the last four years. I have lived in Guadalajara, Mexico for 19 years. Before that I lived in Chicago, Nashville, Toledo & Ireland.

After traveling for a few years, I decided to settle in Mexico where I've now lived for over 19 years. I learned Spanish by immersing myself in the language and the culture. That is one of the reasons I love teaching a second language to others because I understand what is needed to learn a new language and I know the obstacles and difficulties involved. As well as knowing how fulfilling it is to become fluent in a new language. Interests: I am a fan of Formula 1 Racing! I also enjoy watching Futbol/Soccer, especially Real Madrid. I owned horses in my past and equestrian events are something I will always enjoy. I have been active in animal rescue for most of my life. I love animals, especially horses, dogs and cats. I have 2 rescue dogs now, and have been fortunate to have had many rescue dogs, cats, birds and horses throughout my life.
