My name is Fabio Guerrero Sánchez. I have been working for different schools and universities along this beautiful country called Panamá. It is a real pleasure to share the little knowledge I have about the English language with all my students and pupils. My main goal as a teacher is working out the students outcomes in order to have competitive citizens for making a better Panama.
