Pathways - ESL courses for International Students
Teaching began with eight years of homeschooling my five children. I then taught kindergarten for six years, followed by teaching English to students whose first language was not English. I also had the privilege of teaching in Taiwan for four years in elementary, junior high school, and high school English classes. |
Courses
Courses vary from session to session, but include Reading and Writing, Language and Vocabulary Development.
