This is Ella, a multilingual, certified ESL teacher from Austin. Texas with +7 years of teaching many international students at a variety of levels from beginner to upper intermediate. Also, I'm a behavior analyst and a CPTSD recovery coach based in TEXAS, United States.
I love taking photos, walking, dancing, reading, searching, traveling, art, listening to music, watching great movies, hanging out with my friends, and having family gatherings as well.
I'm friendly, extroverted, motivating, kind, creative, organized, and detail-oriented, though.
I'm very good at communication, swimming, salsa, and bachata dancing.

🌷 I would like to share this beautiful poem with you:
Hold fast to dreams
For if dreams die
Life is a broken-winged bird
That cannot fly.
Hold fast to dreams
For when dreams go
Life is a barren field
Frozen with snow.
