Hello! I am from Ephrata, Pennsylvania and I have my Master's in Teaching English as a Second or Other Language from Spring Arbor University. I have taught English as a Second Language online for the past 10 years. My work also includes curriculum and assessment development. I love to help my students develop in various skills such as reading and pronunciation to help them prepare for their future! I have received excellent feedback from parents and students in surveys. I like to make my lessons interesting and understandable by providing many scaffolds, pictures, clear explanations, examples, conversations, jokes, etc believing that all students can learn. I also like to listen to my students, hear their perspectives and try to cater to their interests and situations where they need to learn English, providing material that the students feel is worthwhile and according to their interests to increase their involvement. I love reading, playing the violin, and spending time with my family. I am looking forward to interacting with you throughout the class.
