"I'm a teacher, PhD student, and European football fan. I am known for reading, writing, and teaching English, even though I also know four or five other languages (I forget the exact number). My goal is to provide positive support and mentoring to my students, to help meet your learning goals, and to help you develop skills for success.

I have worked as a college composition instructor for five years, a middle and high school ESL teacher for over two years, writing center director for two years, private tutor for a combined total of 12 years, writer, and conference presenter, mostly all at the same time. I'm a certified k-12 Minnesota teacher in ESL and hold a MA in English from MSU-Mankato (specialized in TESL).

When not working, I enjoy watching European football, traveling, reading, riding horses, and swimming. I look forward to being your tutor!" less...
