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.

Alejandra es una profesional totalmente competente en áreas relacionadas con la lengua y educación del Bachillerato Internacional. Reconozco en ella su gran ímpetu de mantenerse en constante aprendizaje y capacitación buscando siempre los medios adecuados para realizarlo. Su trabajo con jóvenes es sumamente valioso, pues los anima siempre a desarrollar sus capacidades y su sentido crítico, así como a considerar diversas perspectivas para formar un criterio. Alejandra es una profesional altamente creativa, con gran sentido de responsabilidad y sumamente apta para formar y liderar equipos de trabajo. Su participación en equipos de trabajo y liderazgo educativo es enormemente valorado.
