Experience
I am an experienced tutor who has both a bachelor's degree in history, focusing on Latin American history and a master's degree in TESOL. I am currently ESL certified in K-12. I have five years of experience teaching abroad, most of this in South Korea. I have spent much of my teaching career teaching English as a second language, including teaching English to business men and women who wanted to improve their language skills, students who are preparing to take the TOEFL exam, and other individuals who were just looking to improve their conversational skills.I grew up in a huge immigrant family and that was where I developed my love for teaching ESL. Seeing my family work to overcome the language barriers that they had and seeing their increased confidence as they learned the language was very inspiring. I understand what the students are going through when they are struggling with English, and I am able to be patient and work with their obstacles to improve their language skills. My belief is the more you use the language, the more you improve.In my free time I enjoy playing basketball, listening to soul and jazz records, and having lazy days with my dog.
