English Language Teacher
English Language Instruction, Education
I work with international English language learners within the U.S. public school system who need specialized and accommodated instruction in the English language while obtaining their high school diplomas.

Intereses: I spent five years teaching English in Japan before coming back to the US. I began teaching online to students all around the world. My passion for teaching grew, so I decided to pursue education in graduate school while teaching English online. I am currently an English language teacher for a small county in southwestern Virginia, working with multilingual learners from around the world.
