Paige Holman

I'm a Native English speaker from the United States with a TEFL certification from the International TEFL Academy. I taught English to college students and acted as both a Teacher Aid and Volunteer Teacher. After teaching for 5 months in The United States, I graduated and moved to México. I have been living in México for the past two months and will continue living here. My Spanish is at a B1 level. I possess a deep cultural awareness after studying abroad in Guanajuato and through my bachelor's degree in Human Services. I’m very passionate about supporting Latinx immigrants.
