I believe that all students can succeed if they are given the time, coaching, and proper instructional to do so. Not all students are created equal, and some students think differently than others. In this one size fits all form of schooling, I believe that some students need more time and a different way of learning to get to the same point.

I have a Bachelor’s, Master’s and most of a Doctorate Degree completed in Education with emphasis in English language development. My backgrounds includes training adult ESL, child ESL, college level writing, middle school language arts, and 3-8 theater.

I have 13 years of teaching in the classroom, both to students and adults.

I have a background as a professional soccer and volleyball coach and have an interest in athletics. I like to travel, and spend my summers in Eastern Europe teaching English as part of the United States Military.
