I hold a Bachelor’s Degree in Communications from San Francisco State University and am TEFL-certified, with several years of experience teaching English to students of all ages and backgrounds. I’ve had the pleasure of working with professionals in fields like banking, advertising, and wine tourism—as well as kids and teens improving their academic English.  Having lived in Spain and worked to improve my Spanish, I truly understand the challenges of improving a second language. This helps me support my students with empathy, patience, and practical guidance.

What makes NorCal English different is my personalized approach: I tailor each lesson to fit your goals, interests, and learning style—whether you’re preparing for a presentation, a trip abroad, or improving everyday conversation.

I believe that language learning should be interactive, engaging, and practical. My lessons often include real-world topics, speaking practice, vocabulary building, pronunciation work, and activities that make learning enjoyable and effective.
