I earned a Masters degree in Education with a focus on TESOL and reading from Regent University. Since graduating, I have taught as an elementary school teacher and as an adjunct professor. As a licensed ESL instructor, I have tutored adults in conversational English. I have also tutored a variety of other subjects, including essay writing, ISEE and SSAT test prep, and reading. I encourage learners of all ages to celebrate their accomplishments regardless of how big or small those accomplishments might be, and I try to motivate my students by making learning fun. I believe that education is necessary for improved quality of life and I try to impart this appreciation to all of my students. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, listening to music, travelling and spending quality time with family.
