About
I am an energetic teacher who excels at engaging student and getting them speaking. With my science background I can offer extended information to your student to help them expand their English skills. I have a Master’s degree in Education and am TOESEL certified. I have been teaching for over 15 years. I have taught in American middle schools as well as tutored in many and levels and subjects. I have a focus on Science and Math as well as English Language teaching. I have been teaching ESL in one-on-one online classes for the past 2 years. In my classes, I focus on creating independent speech rather than repeating or reading. I also excel at expanding the lesson and growing the student’s English vocabulary. No matter the student level, I can work with them to help them not just speak English, but to speak comfortably
I love watching students learn. I love learning about them and sharing their successes.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
When I start with a student, the first session is to assess where they are at and where they want to go. It may be gain confidence, prepare for a test or basic remediation. Regardless of what the goal or where the student is at, we will draft a plan together to get there in a reasonable time frame.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I am a certified teacher with 15years of teaching experience in all subject areas. I am TOEFL certified and have a passion for helping second language learners. For the past two years I have been teaching ESL via video-conferencing to students in China
