I am a passionate ESL and Language Arts educator with over ten years of teaching and tutoring experience. I’ve worked in classroom, community, and corporate settings, and have had the privilege of teaching students from more than 45 countries and over 20 language backgrounds. I hold a master’s degree in TESOL from Arizona State University, a Secondary Education teaching certificate, and an international TEFL/TESOL certification.
I specialize in working with adult learners, including refugees, immigrants, young adults preparing for the workplace, college students, and corporate professionals. My instruction focuses on communicative language use, authentic materials, literacy development, phonetics and pronunciation, and for advanced learners, refining writing and expressive skills. My goal is to help every student gain confidence, feel empowered, and experience a true sense of belonging. I believe multilingualism enriches identity, and using another language in the world is a powerful life tool. I look forward to meeting you!

Outstanding Tutor

Courtney was one of the best tutors I had. During the initial meeting, she took time to really understand the scope of my needs and was able to adapt her teaching to exactly what I needed to know and the way I needed to learn. She is very creative when it comes to exploring different methods to convey the material. I have engaged Courtney for two semesters and will do so again when future needs arise. My advice to fellow students is to engage her and don't look back.

Wonderful tutor!

Courtney has been tutoring my daughter, her Star Reading scores have drastically improved and her confidence has increased as well.

Tutor responded:

Thank you so much, Kristen! I am so excited to hear Ava's scores have improved, and especially that she's feeling more self-assured in school. Ava is such a pleasure to tutor, is a fast learner, and really has a drive for improvement. I look forward to continue working with her!
