Summary
After completing high school diploma in 2009, got enrolled in a local academy to study English, completing fifteen levels. A teacher recognized my teaching potential and patience. From 2013 to 2018, I pursued a Bachelor's degree in English Teaching As A Second Language with a focus on teaching at the University of El Salvador. I also taught free English courses and assisted struggling students. In 2017, I worked in a call center, enhancing my English skills while developing competencies in empathy, time management, and attention to detail.
