I hold a Bachelor Degree in English Literature, with wide experience starting from first stages as kindergarten, primary, junior high, and elementary.
I emigrated to Canada eager to obtain more, not only through teaching, but to know about student psychology and how to deal with them, so I obtained a diploma in child mental health, then a diploma in Youth Behaviour and Attitude. In addition to this I obtained with Honours a diploma in Teaching and Class Management and 240 hours of TESOL/TEFL.
