Hello, I'm Ms. Madi, and I'm thrilled at the prospect of teaching your ESL child to read. With a solid foundation in elementary education through my degree and teaching license, I've had the privilege of educating young minds for over a decade. My journey has taken me across borders, and I've had the incredible opportunity to teach ESL kindergarteners in Japan, Korea, and Taiwan. This international experience has not only broadened my cultural understanding but has also fine-tuned my approach to teaching English as a second language. I believe that the key to successful learning lies in creating a nurturing and engaging environment. My goal is to instill a love for reading while providing the necessary tools and techniques for your child to excel in their literacy journey. I look forward to embarking on this exciting adventure with your child!
