Why Do I Teach?:
I have always worked with children, from babysitting to tutoring and now a teacher. I love working with my ESL students, who come from over 15 different countries and speak multiple languages. They each have a fascinating story to tell about their experiences coming to this country. I absolutely love learning from my students! They teach me so much on a daily basis.
