    About Selina B.

    Hi , I'm Selina and I truly enjoy being a teacher and helping my students to achieve their goals. For me, going above and beyond is something that I enjoy doing for my students and it builds great rapport when parents and students believe that teaching isn't just an occupation, but also a way to reach out and improve lives, and assist others in making their dreams come true. As your teacher, when you succeed, so do I, and that keeps me motivated as well. Having taught for several years ESL/EFL in the United States and in the countires of Colombia and Chile, I know that meeting, sharing experiences and teaching various populations is a lifetime mission for me. Looking forward to meeting you!
