Hello!

HI! My name is Donna, and I am looking forward to being your tutor! I have been an English professor at a small college in upstate New York for over 25 years, and I have some experience working with English Language Learners. I have taught many international students, and I was the club advisor to our International/English Language Learners club. I love talk to different people about their cultures and customs, and I understand the challenges of learning English and hope I can help you. Other than my work, I love to read, and I love playing with my two dogs, Wolfie and Sampson. I also love to cook, and I love watching comedians and I am a huge Star Wars fan! And just to let you know, I do have some knowledge of the Italian language, and I am used to hearing different accents because of my parents, aunts, uncles, and cousins, as well as many of my students who are from countries all over the world. I look forward to working with you!

As I said in my introduction, I love to read and enjoy cooking. I also love my pets and love anything Star Wars!

Teaching Style

I like to work with what interests students, and then help them learn based on them. I believe in working with the strength of the student, not their weaknesses, and taking those strengths to help them grow.
