I first began teaching while I was in college, when my nephew was struggling with some of his middle school classes. From there I decided to challenge myself to live and work abroad teaching English. I enjoyed working as an English teacher so much that I continued my career when I returned to the United States.

I can sympethize with people who are full of great ideas but have difficulty expressing those ideas on paper. My goal is to help people find their voice and write better essays and more vivid fiction.

Working as an ESOL/ESL teacher has also been an incredibly rewarding experience. I can't understate how proud I am of my students when I see them improve their English and better their lives in the United States as a result.

About the lesson

When meeting a new student it's important to me to understand what their current level of English is. Once that is established I can focus on the specifics of what they would like help with or what particular skills they are looking to improve.

Once we have spent a bit of time together I try to figure out what learning style suits them best. From then on I plan lessons or activities tailored to them.

I have been lucky enough to work with all sorts of different people from all over the world.

I've worked with Spanish middle schoolers, high school orthodox Jewish boys, adult immigrants and refugees to name a few.
