Course Expectations:
ESOL classes are English language courses designed to help English learners build a strong foundation for future classes. The course focuses on writing, grammar, and critical reading. Students will learn to write different types of papers, use proper grammar, and analyze various texts, including short stories, novels, and films. We will also work on developing their discussion skills so they can participate in class with confidence.

About Me:
This is my 24th year of teaching, and my third year at Roosevelt High School. I absolutely love it! My first 21 years of teaching were all at the middle school level. I hold a BA and MA in teaching English as a second language. I’m originally from Korea and immigrated to Hawaii when I was in high school. So, I had firsthand experience learning English as my second language, which allows me to empathize with my students. I enjoy teaching and watching my students grow academically and socially. I can’t wait to have another great year!
