I am a qualified teacher of English and Spanish is my mother tongue. I graduated with a Master in Philosophy, a Master in Political Science, a Master in University Pedagogy (with distinction), and I am a doctoral student in Philosophy. I like the interaction with the students and the dynamics in my races. I have several interests and motivations (including musical composition and literature), so conversation lessons are my asset.

About Me
PhD in Philosophy, Master in Philosophy, Master in Pedagogy (with distinction) and Bac in Political Science.
Having been an assistant and then a university professor for three years at the Universidad Nacional de Colombia and the Universidad Javeriana (Bogotá), I have always had a deep interest in pedagogy, which is why I pursued a master's degree in university pedagogy. In addition, my work experience in Washington DC (as a history and political culture instructor for an NGO) has enhanced my ability to teach students in a multicultural and multidisciplinary environment. My knowledge of English, French and Spanish have, moreover, played an important role in the consolidation of my multicultural training in that they gave me access to multiple means of information.
