Meet another one of ECLA’s awesome teachers, Jacquelle Rodriguez!!

“Hello all! Whether you’re asking yourself if you should come to EC Los Angeles or you’re already on your way here, welcome! I might or might not be your teacher, but you’ll see me in the halls either way and you can’t miss me! I love teaching, probably because I love learning too. I’ll try my best to help you succeed here and to make your time in Los Angeles as memorable as possible. I was born and raised in Los Angeles, but I like to think of myself as a global citizen :) Before I came to ECLA, I taught in Paris and Andalucia. So, I can say I know what it’s like to learn a foreign language: the frustrations and the highs.
Believe it or not, when I’m not teaching English at ECLA, I’m at home teaching myself or striving to improve in one area or another. I’d like to say that I’m fluent in Spanish and French, but there’s always more to learn! Baking is another one of my hobbies; you can ask the staff here at ECLA whether what I make is always edible or not. I also enjoy reading military history and watching old crime and film noir movies. So that’s me in like ten sentences. You can come to ECLA if you want to find out more.”
