Bio

I am a caring and creative teacher. I learn from every relationship with each student and their families, how to become a better more efficient teacher. My students often succeed at their tests and grow to love the language or other subject matter they are learning. I have worked for over 35 years teaching mostly English as a Second Language, but also French, some kinds of low level math, writing, history and some kinds of test skills. I would love to hear from you about your needs. I...

I am a caring and creative teacher. I learn from every relationship with each student and their families, how to become a better more efficient teacher. My students often succeed at their tests and grow to love the language or other subject matter they are learning. I have worked for over 35 years teaching mostly English as a Second Language, but also French, some kinds of low level math, writing, history and some kinds of test skills. I would love to hear from you about your needs. I can analyze those your problems. I love students of all abilities and believe that all subjects including spiritual growth are included in holistic learning.

Patient Tutor

I have my 3 yrs old first time in tutoring and also in French. She is having so much fun and able to identify 6 colors in French by the end of the class. My girl told me after class, she loves teacher Debby, and want to go again.

ESL for kids

Deborah is a great teacher. She helped my son (7) and nephew (8) with ESL. They couldn't wait for their lessons with Deborah. It was very interesting and funny. Thank you so much for the patience and tutoring! Those lessons helped them a lot to adapt to school.

Very Patient and Positive reinforcement

Deborah provided significant assistance with my 4 and 5 year. She grasped the technology of the classes fairly quickly and was attentive to both children simultaneously. She was also mentioned their ‘snack time’ which was the cherry on top for us. The fact that she isn’t just doing ‘the job’, she genuinely cares.
