Bio
Elisa Contreras
I had the pleasure of being Alejandra's student during high school. Thanks to her English lessons, not only did I become better at writing and overall understanding, but thanks to her guidance and encouragement, I was able to speak at a TEDx event. Teacher Alejandra is a committed and purpose-driven person. She goes beyond her duties to ensure the learning of her students. I highly recommend her because of her English domain and her comprehensive but still challenging way of teaching.
