My profile

Hi,

My name is Paula Vergara. I love teaching, being with friends and spending my time with my son.

I lived in the United States for some years when I was a child. I would like to live there to study, but not for good. I already have a Master´s degree in TEFL, well, almost, because I am working on my thesis on Speaking Assessment.

I hope you enjoy the course.

Paula
