Leona with grandson

ABOUT:

As a bilingual, bicultural teacher, artist, actor, she’s passionate about providing service and encouragement to everyone she comes in contact with.  Although she believes a ‘New Earth’ is inevitable she wants to help it happen by doing everything possible to eradicate greed, corruption and abuse. She believes in the urgency of reclaiming our natural instinct to be loving empathetic humans while respecting nature.  

Professionally Leona has  travelled the world teaching English to speakers of other languages (TESOL) and she supports English as a ‘Lingua Franca’. 

With one common second language. we can communicate with people from all over the world and English is one of the best choices because of it has a vast storehouse of information in all major fields.

           

Leona has taught TESOL to all ages and professions in the public and private sectors; she’s been a lecturer at universities in Costa Rica, Oman, and Kazakhstan and utilizes engaging and personalized techniques to bring the language to life.

Look for free resources under English in the menu.

INTERESTS:

As a mother of five she believes children are the greatest resource for an amazing New Earth and  must be encouraged to develop awareness and become joyful human beings in collaboration with others and nature.

This is her aim in writing a series of children’s books. See: ‘Xavier, the Frisky Young Horse Saves the Speedy Sombrero” in the BOOKS page. It not only champions joy, friendship and music but teaches a little Spanish as a bonus.

Leona is also multi-talented and skillful in arts and crafts such as designing stained glass,  jewelry and most recently dream catchers. She wishes you all sweet dreams where nightmares are no longer invading our peaceful sleep.
