My teaching philosophy is that students learn the best when they are in a positive learning environment where they feel welcomed, comfortable, and safe with each other. Once kindness and mutual respect are established as the norm, we can begin the great work of studying English.

I love reading, writing fiction, traversing thrift stores at every given opportunity, cooking, baking, and traveling. My husband John and I have three grown children (Knox, 24; Ava, 24; Aine, 22) and four cats (Lavender, Astrid, Whiskey, and Fig).
