PROFESSIONAL QUALIFICATIONS:

I am a highly motivated and broadly prepared professional in the field of language teaching. I have also demonstrated my abilities to work effectively with colleagues in an environment that promotes innovation, teaching, learning, and service to a diverse student population, to work with students with a wide range of skills and motivations, and to help develop curriculum suited for a particular institution’s need. Moreover, I constantly explore new technologies and varied strategies applicable in this field. And last but not least, I am a very open-minded person, aware and sensitive about cultural differences and about students’ weaknesses and strengths when learning another language. My goal is to promote excellence and high expectations in and out of the classroom.
