Experienced ESL/Literacy tutor - middle school through college levels

Annie P.

Dear Student,

Hi! I’m Annie, and I am so excited to be working with you.

Teaching and language have always been my biggest passions. I graduated magna cum laude from Marquette University with degrees in French, Education, and Anthropology, and later earned two Master’s degrees from UW-Madison—one in Applied English Linguistics and another in Literacy and Literacy Coaching. In this time, I have received teaching certifications in French, Anthropology, ESL, Reading, Literacy Coaching and Career Pathways Coaching.

Over the past 25 years, I’ve had the joy of teaching English all over the map—literally and figuratively! I’ve taught English language courses and reading at UW-Madison and WESLI, and even spent a wonderful year teaching at Kyungpook National University in Daegu, South Korea. While I loved my time in South Korea and was offered a permanent position there, I chose to come back home to the U.S. to marry my husband, Jeff.

For the last two decades, I’ve been working right here in the Madison Metropolitan School District as a French teacher, Reading teacher, Literacy Instructional Coach and Experiential Learning coordinator. Throughout all of this, tutoring has always held a special place in my heart. I’ve worked with everyone from middle schoolers to post-grad students polishing their theses.

Now that my own kids are grown, I finally have the time to dive back into one-on-one tutoring. I can't wait to get started and help you reach your goals!

Warmly,

Annie
