Instructor
I am a wife, mother, teacher, linguist, and lover of people and culture. I have taught in the classroom off and on for twenty years. I have lived all over the United States as well as in Asia, and I have travelled extensively throughout Europe, Asia, and Central America. I love helping people to grow and improve themselves as much as I love to grow and improve myself. My experience in various cultures and with people from all over the world has developed my skill in languages and in identifying the struggles people have with solidifying their English skills and conversational skills with Americans. It's scary to talk to Americans. I know! I'm here to help you cross that bridge and build the confidence you need to be successful.
