FAQs
- How did you get started doing this type of work?
I started years ago teaching English to some friends who barely spoke English, and loved that I was learning at the same time ! Eventually, I became a teacher and then the manager of an ESL school in Silicon Valley. I've had my own business teaching since 1997.
- What types of customers have you worked with?
I have worked with people from age 4 up to age 85! I have taught people from many other countries and backgrounds, and I've worked with a variety of disabled people, too. I love my work. I want each person to discover who they can be, and how great it feels to achieve.
- Describe a recent project you are fond of. How long did it take?
I have young piano students who can hold their own at jazz jam sessions. I smile when my math, reading, and writing students learn HOW to study, and do it willingly. I've enjoyed teaching piano students who are seriously disabled, but are able to release their feelings at the piano. I love teaching international people all aspects of the English language, and have discovered a lot of things along the way. When reading students get that they really can read, they beam. I love that.
