Hello. My name is Jennifer and I have been teaching English as a second language for over 5 years. I love helping my students reach their language goals. As a language learner myself, I know the struggle and the ups and downs that come with speaking a new language. With new learners, I speak slowly and clearly to make conversation as easy as possible. I have taught students from the age of 4 to adults. Come learn with me. You will have fun!

I’m currently in school to get my single subject teaching credential in English. I have experience teaching children and young adults.

I have worked with many students throughout the last couple years ranging from 1st to 10th grade. I worked with multiple students both in classes and outside. Above all, I worked with students who were learning English as their second language.

I have been a substitute teacher for about three years now and am set to become a full-time English teacher by the beginning of the next school year. After school hours, I have also worked as a private tutor for a multitude of students ranging from first graders to college students.
