Hello!
Hello! Thank you for looking through my profile. I've been a teacher all my life, formally at universities, or informally at church school or my children's schools. I enjoy working with kids, and love their energy and enthusiasm. I am flexible and fun, but also have strong expectations for learning and building confidence. I would love to get to know more about you!
I love to meet students from around the world, and learn about different cultures. The graduate program I work with has a large international student population, and it has been a pleasure and honor to work with them. We have had high school students from South Africa, Thailand and Nicaragua live with us short-term basis, and have followed our own children to Kenya, Thailand and South Africa as they studied abroad. I enjoy cooking (primarily Italian), reading, hiking and playing with my granddaughter.

As I mentioned in the video, I am patient, friendly and enthusiastic. I love hands-on practice and working with students and families to meet their goals. I use props and realia, positive correction, TPR, and scaffolding. Mistakes are expected, and give us an opportunity to grow!
