I've taught English Language Learners at the kindergarten and upper grade levels, ESL classes to recent Korean immigrant families, the SAT and ACT to the most dedicated students who've gone off to Ivy League universities, and hundreds of reluctant and underserved high school students who need us most. I've taught a variety of English electives and have written curriculum for district use. Currently, I teach college and alternative high school and middle school students. I'm pursuing a PHD in Education and am also in the process of starting a curriculum-centered program with the hopes of standard use one day.
