About

I’ve taught English for over 25 years and worked as an IEP instructor in the U.S. for over fifteen years. I've been teaching at the UIC Tutorium since 2010, and I am still as passionate about my students' improvement as the day I started. I like teaching all levels of proficiency, but my strength lies in teaching advanced academic reading and writing skills. When not on the UIC campus, I enjoy cooking for my family, writing fiction, drawing, woodworking, distance running and cycling, and target archery.
