Glencora

Hello! I’m Glencora, a dedicated English teacher with over 10 years of experience helping students from around the world connect with language in a meaningful, fun, and effective way. Whether you're starting from scratch or refining your fluency, I’m here to support you with patience, creativity, and a personalized approach. One thing that truly sets me apart as a teacher is my passion for stories. I’m an avid reader, finishing between 40 and 60 books a year — every single day, without fail. From thrilling suspense novels to gripping detective stories, books have been my lifelong companions, and I love bringing that same excitement and curiosity into my lessons. I believe that learning a language isn’t just about memorizing grammar rules — it’s about discovering new worlds, just like when you read a great book! 📖 In my free time, you’ll often find me with a mystery novel in hand or completely immersed in an audiobook as I go about my daily routine. I love bringing these stories into the classroom, using excerpts, storytelling activities, or discussions about intriguing plots and characters to make lessons more engaging. If you’re a book lover like me, we’ll have so much to talk about! And if you’re just beginning to read in English or Spanish, I can help you fall in love with it too — plus, I have tons of recommendations! 🎧 Audiobooks are also a big part of my routine. I believe they are a powerful tool for developing listening comprehension, especially for language learners. I often recommend high-quality audiobooks and podcasts to reinforce what we’ve covered in class, always tailored to your interests and level. In every lesson, I strive to create a warm, supportive space where you feel safe and motivated to learn. My goal isn’t just to teach you a language — it’s to inspire you to use it… to express yourself, explore, and connect with others around the world. If you’re looking for a teacher who brings knowledge, passion, creativity, and a touch of storytelling magic into every class, I’d love to work with you.
