Personal Motivation:
I have always had a strong desire for lifelong learning, and enjoy exciting and difficult challenges. My objective is to continue work in ESL/EFL teaching. I am motivated with a strong history of helping students advance English language abilities for future personal and professional success. I feel that my previous volunteer work, college experiences, and various fields of academic training and teaching (both domestically and internationally) have provided me with the necessary skills to be a well-rounded, passionate, and supportive teacher.
