I love to encourage and inspire my students in their learning. I believe that learning can take place through a variety of creative activities and methods. I have just returned to the states after living 20+ years overseas in Asia. My life has been so special because I have met so many people from around the world. People always ask me what was my favorite place to live, and I have to respond that I loved each city I lived in. Whether Hong Kong or Shanghai or Singapore or Chengdu or Beijing, they all were very enjoyable and enriched my life a lot. My bachelors degree in Early Childhood Development as well as my Masters with classes in TESOL, has given me a deep foundation for my life in Asia. I've taught in many different situations - kindergartens, community centers and the University classroom - and they all gave me opportunities to help teach and encourage my students in their English language development. I have just recently adopted a beautiful 8 year old girl and so she takes up most of my free time these days. However, my free time when I have it, includes walking, writing to my friends and learning how to cook Chinese food for my daughter. I look forward to making new friends through Varsity Tutors and helping my students learn as much English language as possible.
