In my free time, I like planning fun outings with my son like ziplining, cave exploring, and parade watching. I'm a singer, dancer, and musician so I enjoy integrating music into my lessons.
I also speak and understand intermediate Spanish so I enjoy teaching English as a Second Language Classes. In the past, I have studied Nepali, Mandarin, and Spanish so I enjoy hosting students from different backgrounds and cultures because of my work abroad.

I enjoy bringing smiles to students' faces whatever it takes (whether that be a song, joke, or big smile from me). I hope my classes help you make friends from around the globe as we learn together!Reviews
