I am certified ESL Teacher/Instructor. As part of my certification I moved to Guatemala to teach English as second language in a large and very prestigious English School named IGA. I worked with students of all ages from 5 to 18 and also with adults. I really enjoy working with students of different nationalities and backgrounds and I try to make the class fun for my students regardless of their English level. I learn so much from my students and their culture, but I also try to teach them the cultural part that comes with English as a language. If you are looking to improve your English skills: Speaking, listening, reading or writing I can help you!

I have been teaching Spanish and English as a second language privately and in a classroom environment for many years. I received my ESL Teaching certification from a prestigious international language school in South America named IGA. After getting certified, I worked for this school for over two years. During this time I had the opportunity to work with students of all ages (5 years old - adults) and also from many different countries and backgrounds. I was known for making my class interesting and fun! Currently I live in the Austin area and I tutor children, teens and adults. Spanish is my first language, and I enjoy helping my students with their Spanish skills including writing, speaking, listening and reading. I am a people person and I customize my lessons depending on the student's learning style.

Great Tutor

Norma is a professional tutor! She has a friendly attitude to her students. She always picks those exercises that help me practice and we combine the book with videos and speaking. That's very helpful and keeps me involved and allows me to stay interested and enjoy each 1.5 hour class! I appreciate her work with me and I see a huge improvement in my Spanish. I highly recommend Norma to both beginners and people with some knowledge of Spanish.

Anastasia , 40 lessons with Norma

First lesson

Norma is a great teacher. She is very patient and teaches to the student's needs. Definitely more modern approach to teaching piano. She is very relaxed and easy going session. I'm very pleased.

Marie, 2 lessons with Norma

Knowledgeable and patient tutor

Norma was super accommodating and flexible with schedule and my ever changing hours. We started exactly on time and established my level and went over a few things in the beginning of the book that Norma recommended. I really liked my lesson, Norma was very detailed and patient. Looking forward to learning more!

Very knowledgeable, but internet problems

Norma seemed very knowledgeable and experienced in her field - would have loved to have picked her brain a little, but the location she chose had poor internet service and I was unable to access my computer or my phone. Her computer was affected also, so we did not have much of a chance to work on what I had planned to. Since I was under a time constraint, I couldn't meet again, but did end up figuring out most of what I needed to at home. If I need further help in this area, I would certainly be interested in connecting with Norma again - but maybe at a different location.

Very Helpful

Norma was very helpful and flexible with her time, in helping me with a PowerPoint presentation. I had never used PowerPoint before and needed to give a presentation for a job interview within a week. I received great reviews on my presentation, so I am so thankful for Norma's help!

Leslie, 22 lessons with Norma

Awesome Tutor!

Today I really like the way she went away from the text and tested our skill. We are slowly but surely learning the things we need to know. Not a bunch of non relevant stuff. We think she's great!
