Hi, I’m
Garry Rivera

Summary
As a medical device sales representative, my career has revolved around educating medical professionals on devices and research. With a strong background in effective communication, adaptability, and simplifying complex concepts, I am well-prepared to transition into teaching English to non-English speakers. Drawing on my experience, I will tailor lesson plans to individual needs, create engaging and informative sessions, and offer real-world examples. I am excited to bring my passion for education and communication to the ESL classroom, empowering students to achieve fluency and cultural integration.
