Our most important task as teachers is to provide students with life-long skills whether that’s teaching a language or showing students how to think, not what to think.
If you’re looking for a teacher who really wants to help students excel, you’re in the right place. My Midwestern work ethic combined with my patience and dedication to student success is what makes both parents and students enjoy working with me.
Not only am I passionate about language and teaching, but my 17 years of experience in education and language learning help me to create interesting and engaging lessons that students crave. I always strive to improve and bring the best to my students.
