Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
We always start with a meet and greet, and a level check if needed. This allows students to speak about their goals, ask any questions, agree to an action plan and class objectives, and work out any technical issues, before their paid classes begin.
We like to work with smart goals. That means that I go is specific, measurable, attainable, relevant, and Time-based. We measure student progress and reevaluate goals periodically, roughly every 10 to 15 classes.

How did you get started teaching?
I started teaching through a volunteer opportunity at my local church. I began teaching ESL classes at night when I decided to switch from nursing school to an education major.
What types of students have you worked with?
I have worked with students from ages 3 and up, in a variety of settings, including: Bilingual schools, language centers, on-site company classes, and online in both group (up to 12 students) and private classes.
Many of my adult students are advanced professionals who work in top companies around the world. Because of my medical background, I often work with doctors and other healthcare professionals.
I also enjoy working with teenagers. They provide a fun challenge for me as an instructional designer.
