Poemas de primavera: Robert Frost

I teach all kinds of English classes including writing, grammar, literature, and ESL.  I am an avid reader of fiction and non-fiction especially poetry, science fiction, and fantasy. 

I have been teaching for more than 10 years.  I taught English as Foreign Language in three different Chinese universities for a total of eight and a half years.  These classes included comprehensive English, listening and speaking, writing, and pronunciation.  I taught BA, MA, and Ph.D. students.  Since we have returned to the United States, I have taught childbirth classes, online ESL through VIPkid, and Sunday School.   

I am also a professional writer.  I have a traditionally published book, another at my publisher waiting to be edited, and a novel in its second draft.  I love giving students the chance to communicate, write, and learn in community with others. 

I balance all this with being a homeschool mom. I have homeschooled my two daughters a total of  fifteen years. My older daughter attended our local public high school, so I am familiar with public school needs and requirements as well. 
 
I love sharing the wonder of language with learners young and old--both those who are learning English for the first time and those who are diving into the joys of literature.
