ESL/ESOL

I have enjoyed teaching English as a Second Language classes as a volunteer for approximately three years. In that position I have taught all aspects of the English language necessary to achieve expert communications skills in spoken and written English. I have performed on on one tutoring as well as the tutoring of small groups. I have also taught English at an industrial level as part of the training courses I handle with Home Depot. As a multinational corporation, Home Depot takes great pride in their diversity and also in the ability of all of their employees to communicate well with customers. One of the responsibilities of my position has been language instructions to our employees whose native tongue is not English. It is one of the most rewarding aspects of my job. In addition, I have experience teaching at the university level as a student and teaching assistant. Many of my students do not speak English as their first language and required special tutoring in order to excel in their oral and written assignments. I have published several short stories in magazines specializing in the reality and mystery genres, providing me with extensive experience in written English. I have been speaking publicly on self-help subjects, academic topics, and investment properties for eighteen years-giving me vast experience in the proper use of spoken English. It is my passion to teach. I bring a vast array of experience in the field and look forward to sharing my experience with my students.
