À propos de moi

My role as a teacher is to provide an enthusiastic, interactive learning experience that adapts to the needs of the student, welcoming mistakes as learning tools and fostering lifelong language development.

• Academic background in languages and linguistics, including a graduate degree in Linguistics from George Mason University, Fairfax, Virginia, with coursework in TESOL.
• Experience in teaching and mentoring adults and children, tutoring language learners, conducting oral proficiency interviews, organizing grammar clinics, delivering talks to high school and college students, teaching swimming to elementary school children, directing a children's church choir summer program, and training adults. Currently teaching beginner adults at the International Language Institute in Maryland.
• Fluency in and familiarity with Germanic-based, Latin-based, and Semitic-based languages, giving insight into why a speaker is making specific syntactical and phonetic errors.
• Travel to over 35 countries, resulting in immersive multi-cultural exposure.
