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 has always been to grow and continue to become a better teacher, while providing positive support and mentoring to my students in their language development. I have worked as a college composition instructor, a middle and high school ESL teacher, writing center director, private tutor, writer, and conference presenter, mostly all at the same time. When not working, I enjoy watching European football, traveling, reading, riding horses, and swimming. I look forward to being your tutor!
