About Me
Introduction:
HI there! I am a 35 year old American ESL teacher from Los Angeles. I have been teaching ESL for over seven years, and I can truly say that teaching is my passion. My teaching philosophy is to use encouragement, fun, and consistency to empower my students. I also believe that classroom management is key in creating a thriving learning environment for students.
Some of the most rewarding experiences that I have had in my life, have happened in the classroom. I'm looking to continue similar experiences while teaching abroad. In my free time, I like to meditate, read, write and go to the movies.
