I am a certified teacher in the state of Pennsylvania. I have credentials to teach in the following areas:
ESL Specialist (anticipated 8/08)
English
Fine Arts
German (anticipated 9/08)
My academic excellence is reflected in the 4.0 GPA I have maintained as a graduate student at Moravian College.
My main area of interest is tutoring English as a second lanugage (ESL). I am highly qualified to do this through completion of the graduate level ESL Specialist Cerificate Program at Moravian.
I studied in other countries myself and am interested in other cultures and languages. In addition to speaking English, I also speak German as well as conversational Italian.
My personal experiences learning languages and my training in TESOL provide me with many tools and strategies to help students who would like to improve their English skills.
I believe in student centered learning. That means I will adjust what I teach and how I teach it to fit the needs of the student. We can work together on specific assignments, conversational proficiency, vocabulary, grammar, comprehension, or whatever the student wants to improve.
I hope I can help you reach your lanugage goals!
