I live in New York City, the United States. I have 20 years' experience teaching English to adults. I also have experience helping people find work, and train people who want to become ESL teachers.

I have a Bachelor's degree in English, two Associates degrees, and TESOL and TEFL certifications. I LOVE being a teacher, because I love helping people learn English. I also LOVE drinking coffee :) My goal is to help ESL teachers feel encouraged and supported in the ESL profession.
