Teacher expertise and credentials
I love history and culture. I am an after-school ESL tutor. During eight years of tutoring English as a Second Language I've also tutored in cultural competency. My students come from homes where English is not spoken and are not brought up with regular discussions of cultural icons and American symbolism as a usual topic of discussion. Reviews
