I enjoy helping people in long term ways. My bachelor's in Psychology and my natural talent for patience has equipped me further to understand people and differences. That's how I fell in love with teaching. I found I could be a great help to those that needed to practice English while also facilitating some very real changes in people's lives. I've always loved and respected other cultures. All of these things combined have made me a dedicated and caring teacher. I have 4 years of experience teaching University English in China and I enjoyed ever minute of it. Now I'm ready to continue my career here in the States and assist those that need to feel at home away from their home.
