 " I've heard people tell me they've studied English
for years and don't know how to speak. I've come across non-native English teachers that feel they don't have enough confidence to speak English to natives. I've heard, time and again, people saying they travel abroad and feel they can't communicate in English because they get lost in the conversation. All this is due to lack of practice and not because they don't know the language. My objective is to create an environment where only English is spoken so that all participants have the chance to conquer their "fear of speech" barrier that limits their oral skills." Prof. Michelle Martoglio | Objective With more than 16 years of teaching experience in the ESL field Prof. Martoglio creates environments in English where anyone can practice their oral skills and gain confidence.

They attended the Bridge International School of Language (now called Bridge-Linguatech) for a month and were able to further expand their English knowledge. While her students attended classes at the school, Prof. Martoglio taught English as a Second Language at the Bridge International to other ESL students for 3 consecutive year
Trips to Denver were carried out every January until 2001, year in which Prof. Martoglio moved to Toronto in August. In September 2007 Prof. Martoglio moved back to Argentina and is now living in Villa Maria, Cba. with her husband and two children.
