About Me

I love to help and encourage people to do what they are gifted in doing. My goal is to help those who have relocated to the Plano Area to improve their communication and relationships using the English Language.

In the short term, I work to build relationships with my students, even if it is using a translator. I find out what they think will be of most benefit for them to learn. One of my students was comfortable with day to day speaking with coworkers but wanted to review and practice presentations before she gave them to see if there were more concise ways to get her meaning across and practice pronunciation.

Long term, I want to build a relationship where the student can build their confidence and take risks in using English. One of my friends knew basic English but was hesitant to use it because she felt she did not speak as well as the rest of the people that had transferred from her home country. She recently told me that she was volunteering at her son’s school as room mom because she was more confident in using her English and not as afraid to make mistakes.

I want to help my students integrate English as a part of their life and who they are.
