"I am a passionate ESL and Language Arts educator with over ten years of teaching and tutoring experience. I’ve worked in classroom, community, and corporate settings, and have had the privilege of teaching students from more than 45 countries and over 20 language backgrounds. I hold a master’s degree in TESOL from Arizona State University, a Secondary Education teaching certificate, and an international TEFL/TESOL certification.

I specialize in working with adult learners, including refugees, immigrants, young adults preparing for the workplace, college students, and corporate professionals. My instruction focuses on communicative language use, authentic materials, literacy development, phonetics and pronunciation, and for advanced learners, refining writing and expressive skills. My goal is to help every student gain confidence, feel empowered, and experience a true sense of belonging. I believe multilingualism enriches identity, and using another language in the world is a powerful life tool. I look forward to meeting you!" less...
