Profile
Teacher expertise and credentials
Master's Degree in Education from Indiana University
I am a retired public school Principal who has taught and written curriculum for grades K-12 in all subject areas. I have taught learners from grades K-12, Special needs learners, adults, ESL learners from several countries it seems for most of my life. Teaching children is what I love to do! And teaching learners of all ages to read and write is my passion. I personally am an avid reader and have been since I was a little girl hearing my Mom say, "Lights out in there. It's way past your bedtime" as I read with a flashlight under my covers. 

I love to work with children in all subject area [reading, writing, science, cooking to name a few] but teaching learners to read, write and speak English is one of my favorite things to do. I just love learning!

I have taught ESL/ELL learners in several different countries and on the continents of Asia, Africa, North and South America for over thirty years now and online since 2016 to students in China through VIPKid.

I am very happy to be teaching on the Outschool platform and look forward to my passion for learning, rubbing off on your learner.
