Currently, I am a graduate student at Pace University working toward a Master of Science in Teaching Adolescent English Education. I previously lived and taught ESL in Seoul, South Korea for a year and a half. I hold a teaching certificate in TEFL/TESOL as well as a Massachusetts teaching license in English for grades 5-12. Since graduating, I have been an English substitute in the U.S. as well as a full time elementary ESL teacher in South Korea. While in Korea, I also tutored conversational English on the side. While I have many certifications in the field of English, my favorite areas to teach are English literature and writing and anything having to do with ESL. I myself greatly enjoy both reading and writing. In addition, I found it rewarding to help ESL students excel because being able to speak a second language in today's society is so important and also admirable. I believe that the world is a small place and learning to speak English effectively really opens a person up to countless possibilities. In my spare time, I enjoy traveling, running, yoga, reading, and learning to play guitar.
