teaching Experience

language teaching experience

My current teaching context is quite divergent. I teach from pre-K to adult students with varying learning background and proficiency range. I love and enjoy being able to teach such diverse audiences: each context complements one another to inform my teaching practice in which I am truly allowed to observe the language development in continuum.
