English (ESL)

As a teacher, I'm very proactive, which means I never settle with just a book! I enjoy creating exercises and strategies according to my students' needs and preferences. This includes incorporating music, literature, movies and games to the daily lesson. As a teacher, I'm very patient and I consider highly important to follow each step on the student's learning process.

As a native speaker with fluency in English and deep knowledge of grammar and phonetics, I can guarantee my students will learn the proper pronunciation of the Spanish/English sounds and the semantics of the target language lexicon. I'm also highly educated to teach all levels. I'm very comfortable teaching all advanced subjects as I am teaching the basics.

Learn English with a native Spanish speaker! Improve your English fluency by discussing financial planning with fellow intermediate students. In this interactive class we will work to expand your vocabulary so that you can feel confident discussing finances and budgets with family, friends, or colleagues. Then, put your skills to the test by practicing what you've learned in conversation.

Best instructor ever.

ps. only option I got on what subject did you learn is Spanish.

Isa is a great teacher who is full of passion for teaching and always patient with her student! Her classes are well-organized and very helpful! She encourages us to participate and tells you all the details so that everything will be clear and understandable! She is very communicative, friendly, patient, and well-organized.

I learned English with Isa, i love her classes so much, i like to read and write in English, she`s so kindness and helpful. Thank you!

Isa is a great teacher, she explains very well, I really enjoy his classes

i had a few classes with her and honestly they are not bad at all

She’s been great.  Lots of knowledge in teaching English.

Isabel is an innovative, patient and fun loving teacher who makes you forget about your fears and anxieties of learning something that is out of your comfort zone.  
Try her and you won't regret the experience!

Isabel is a wonderful Spanish teacher!  Her classes are well planned and she makes the lessons fun and enjoyable.   She is warm and supportive and provides just the right amount of challenge. I highly recommend Isabel!

I’ve taken classes for years both online and in person, and Isa is the only Spanish teacher I’ve stayed with the whole time, which is a reflection of how highly I think of her as an instructor.  As I’ve improved from a beginner to an advanced level, Isa has adjusted our classes to my level and pushed me to improve. She recognizes my weaker areas and always has a strategy to  address them. Our classes consist of a balance of every day conversation or an article to read, followed by exercises to improve my fluency or increase my vocabulary. She is a native Spanish speaker, who is equally fluent in English, and is able to explain concepts in both languages. Regardless of your level, Isa will be a great instructor for you.

Isa is amazing! Fun, funny, smart and flexible. Spanish lessons with her are the highlight of my week especially in these turbulent times. Also AFFORDABLE especially for her level of expertise. 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

The BEST! I have been taking Spanish classes with Isabel off and on for the last 5 years.  I've tried other teachers, but always keep coming back to Isabel. She is thoughtful in her lessons and has always been able to customize them for my changing level and interests. As a teacher, she is kind, patient, and fun, and will make you feel comfortable to speak and stay motivated.  Not to mention, she has an extensive knowledge of linguistics, making her able to explain all types of grammar and uses of the language. Each class is always well spent - both effective and enjoyable. I look forward to my classes each week and can't recommend her enough!

Isa is a wonderful Spanish instructor. I’ve had lessons with Isa weekly for the past few months and she’s definitely helped improve my conversational skills. She is personable, teaches with humor, patiently corrects my mistakes. Lessons are with purpose, yet in a relaxed environment.
