THE CONTACT PERSONS
Corazon Barsana and Maria Gemma Hilotin, the Executive Directors of Teach-USA, founded the employment facilitation agency in September 2017 after seeing the need for highly-qualified teachers in the state of New Mexico and the possibility of creating opportunities for Filipino teachers to teach in the USA.
Teach-USA forms strong partnerships with different host school districts in New Mexico and J1 visa sponsors as a legal third party agency. Teach-USA also taps the excellence of the Filipino teachers who are currently under the J1 program through teamwork and collaboration to support Teach-USA's vision of Win-Win-Win. A win for the schools of New Mexico, a win for Filipino teachers who dream of teaching in the USA, and most importantly a win for the students of New Mexico!
Corazon arrived in the New Mexico, USA in 2006 as a middle school math teacher. In school year 2007-2008 she moved to an elementary school where she found her fulfillment as a teacher. Their school got Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) for three years in a row! After three years of classroom teaching, she moved to a high school to become an Instructional Coach. In July 2013 she became the Director of Support Services of a different school district, until June, 2018.
Gemma came to the USA from the Philippines in September 2007. She worked in New Orleans, Louisiana and in three school districts in New Mexico as a special education teacher and special education facilitator/IEP writer.
