Class Experience

This is a highly engaging, interactive, and interesting 45 minute ESL class for students who are mastering English at a more advanced level.  We will work on conversation skills, speaking, listening, and pronunciation in this class.  We will also work on reading in English and discussing what we have read for reading comprehension.  I also work on vocabulary and multisyllabic words in this class.  Homework will be given every week.  

This is a wonderful class to prepare for further study in an American high school or university or to work in American business.  Example topics may include sports, the Olympics, travel, places to visit, money, philosophy, or things of interest to teen students.   My teaching style is engaging and very visual.  I use a variety of ways to communicate in our lessons to ensure understanding including chat and whiteboard.  I scaffold all lessons for the individual student and their English level.

Please send current TOEFL scores if you have them.  TESOL TOEFL certified teacher.

​
I am a Waldorf educator having worked as a school librarian and library/research subject teacher for 6 years with grades K-12 as faculty at a Waldorf school in rural Pennsylvania.  I also worked as the first grade rest time teacher bringing calm and beautiful stories to this grade every day for many years. I have trained, been mentored by, and served along with some of the most experienced and dedicated Waldorf class and subject teachers in the world, some of whom have passed on and given me the greatest gift possible...to see their joy in teaching young souls. I also served as the reading coach for our school Reading Olympics team with over 40 students per year voluntarily coming to my library for an extracurricular where students were excited to read over 45 books a school year!  

I have been offering comprehensive and affordable private lessons for Waldorf and other students around the world for several years. I also offer special Waldorf grades classes where students can connect with other students around the world.  Our comfort with zoom now allows me to come to you no matter where in the world you may be!  From day one, my students notice the improvement in their abilities and overall comprehension but parents especially note the change in their confidence. I get letters every day from parents telling me how much they see the confidence in their student improving after working with me.  Each student has a unique learning style, and it’s my duty to find out what that is and adapt my lessons accordingly. Contact me today to find out how I can help you achieve your academic goals.  As both a Waldorf former homeschooling mom and a teacher at a Waldorf school, I offer a unique experience to wherever your student may be-at home or at school-while needing extra lessons.

I have also taken private courses in archetypes for several years and studied the work of Carl Jung as a B.S. Psychology student.  I am also a published writer in the Waldorf publication LILIPOH magazine. I lived on a Navajo reservation for several summers. I also have Masters classes in Library Science, Human Services, as well as diversity training. I ran a middle and high school library at the Waldorf school where I taught creative writing, library, and research classes for six years.  I also worked in the Waldorf kindergarten and grades as an aftercare teacher. 

I ran a middle school and high school library and worked extensively with students on research, book study, and analysis.  I have also taught and tutored middle and high school advanced and gifted students on Outschool and other online platforms, including archeytpe and novel study for six years.

I have worked as an online ESL teacher since 2018 working with students in different Asian countries and around the world.
