"Hello everyone! My name is Emily, I am a 24 years old and currently working towards my Associates in Arts degree at the local community college. My ultimate goal is to teach English as a second language to Spanish-speaking students! I love to watch people LEARN! It's a great feeling when you help them switch on that lightbulb!

This past June, I had the pleasure of volunteering and teaching English to elementary school children in the tiny village of El Castillo, Costa Rica. It was such a rewarding experience to watch as the students responded to my lesson plans and activities. I am convinced that students respond well to my energy and motivating attitude.

I have always been interested in the Spanish language. It is one of those subjects that you can never get enough of (for me!)

Teaching is not just for the student, it is for the teacher as well! I learn something from each student just as much as they learn from me! I would love to start working with you or your children and learn from each other!" less...
