Mar de la Hoz

Windsor, Ontario

I have spent more than a decade in education — in the classroom, and as an academic coordinator responsible for how an entire school teaches.

Years before I moved to Canada, I designed and ran an "English Summer in Canada" program for my students in Mexico. I know both sides of that journey, because I learned English as a second language myself.

That is why my classes are built around your goal instead of a textbook. I have been the person searching for the right words in a language that was not mine.
