What I'm looking for

I’m looking to teach ESL/ELL students with curriculum I can tailor to individual needs—where collaboration, strong classroom management, and coaching for self-confidence matter.

I’m an ESL/ELL educator with 15 years of experience teaching adults, teenagers, and kids. I’m organized, committed, and detail-oriented, with strong communication skills and a true focus on active listening.

At Patagonia Public Schools, I created ESL curriculum for Elementary, Middle, and High School and wrote lesson plans and tests tailored to individual students. I implemented various teaching methods, used retention strategies, and coached students to build self-confidence and self-awareness, supporting real progress (including 35% of students passing the Azella 2026 test).

Beyond classroom teaching, I’ve provided individualized support as a Special Education Instructional Paraprofessional and helped students through behavioral intervention. Earlier roles also strengthened my ability to manage documentation and teach in real-world settings, while my background includes an M.A. in English Philology and exchange study at Stockholm University.
