Education

Indiana University - BA: 1982 Geography (Environmental Conservation), MA: 1988 Linguistics (Teaching English as a Second/Foreign Language)

Experience

I taught English to international students at Indiana University for 27 years. I have extensive experience teaching/tutoring reading, writing, editing, grammar, research/study skills, test-taking, speaking, pronunciation, conversation skills, etc. with students of all ages and abilities. I am now retired but would like to continue empowering students to reach their future goals no matter what their beginning skills or learning abilities may be.

Hobbies

I have raised two children (one on the autistic spectrum) and enjoy working with people. I use a variety of methods to help students understand their learning styles/strategies so that they can become independent and confident learners. I enjoy nature, movies, music, comedy, and foreign cultures.
