"I have 20 years of experience working as a full-time ESL Program Specialist. I have worked with K-12 students in the public schools and for the past 14 years in a university Intensive English Program. I hold a Master of Science Degree in TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages) from Wilkes University and a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Elementary Education from Misericordia University. In addition to teaching classes in reading, writing, listening/speaking and grammar. I have specialized in teaching TOEFL and IELTS test preparation courses to intermediate and advanced level students in the IEP.

I particularly love the challenge of equipping my students with the skills, strategies and positive mindset that are critical for success on these high stakes tests. My students consistently experience a a high level of success in achieving their desired test scores.

Working with culturally diverse students has been my passion and privilege. I particularly enjoy the environment of understanding and respect that is created through the open sharing of ideas and culture. I look forward to working with you and helping you to achieve your educational goals. Please contact me to further discuss your specific tutoring and scheduling needs." less...
