Education
Wheaton College Graduate School, MA: TESOL& Intercultural Studies, Magna Cum Laude, 2006 - I taught ESL for World Relief while i was in school and for a semester after I graduated. Toccoa Falls College, BA: Counseling Skills & Cross cultural Studies. Summa Cum Laude, 2001 - I played soccer, worked for the admissions office, and was an RA all while maintaining a high GPA.
Experience
I have been teaching ESL for 7 years. I have taught academic writing and TOEFL classes and love helping students learn how to express themselves in writing. I lived in Mongolia and studied Mongolian language one-on-one with a tutor myself, so I know what it is like to be on both sides of the tutoring relationship. I want to be a tutor, because I have two children and would like to work in a flexible job so that I can still spend quality time with them.
