I am Kodeiska Kimberly Romero Torres. You can tell me "miss Romero" or "teacher." I studied philosophy at San Agustín University, and I also prepared to obtain my certificate in second language from Michigan University by taking the ECCE exam. Currently, I teach both.I am an understanding person with my students, especially. But on the other hand, I am a demanding teacher. Perhaps I am not the best teacher. Nevertheless, I make my best effort. About my personal life: I leave with my mom and two pets. I have my 1 and a half - old little baby; his name is Sammael. He is the most important reason in my life. I am a single mother, and I take care of him all day. I enjoy my free time practicing occultism and, indeed, reading tarot and pendulum too.

He is the most important reason in my life. I am a single mother, and I take care of him all day. I enjoy my free time practicing occultism and, indeed, reading tarot and pendulum too.
