About Me

I am interested in working with ESL students who are new to Pittsburgh and the U.S.A. When I have had the chance to travel internationally in the past, I always appreciated talking to locals and learning about their country and their language from them. Moving to a new country takes so much courage, and I am always glad when I get the chance to meet someone who has come to the USA from another place, and I love helping them understand our culture and language. I would like to work directly with students who are learning English as a second language. This could be all the way from a beginning stage, for example, to be able to ask for things at a store, or for more advanced students who would like to improve their English by clarifying some grammar rules, in order to advance at work. My preferred way to work is to have students set the goals they would like to achieve, and work directly from that, so that the student is not wasting their time. I have experience teaching adult ESL students and am comfortable with teaching to improve reading, writing, communication and grammar. Hobbies: books, hiking, travel, nature, reading, music, writing, art
