ESL Volunteer Tutor
English Language Instruction
I work with a small group of students online to help them improve and practice their speaking skills in English.

Interests: I currently work as an ESL volunteer tutor at Wake Tech Community college. I love my students and love working with them to help them improve their English speaking skills.

I enjoy gardening, canning, baking, spending time with my husband and four dogs, taking care of my chickens, and streaming movies and TV shows. I love action movies and comedies. I also love studying Russian, listening to Russian podcasts, and meeting every week online with my Russian tutor. For the past year, I've been taking classes toward an ESL teaching certificate. So far, I've completed 6 classes, which I've listed under the education section of my profile.
