Experience
I hold a TEFL certification (English as a second language) and I am passionate about writing and teaching in general. For the past two years, I have specialized in teaching English to non-native speakers. In doing so, we covered a broad range of writing, grammar and mechanics. I use fun and engaging games as means of learning new and useful vocabulary. I maintain a positive and playful demeanor so that students learn with ease.

Hobbies
I spend my free time creative writing. I enjoy reading and writing scripts for some of my favorite TV shows, like Grey's Anatomy. I am also very into fitness. I love to swim and have recently taken up Aqua Zumba dance class. I enjoy reading and telling stories. One of my favorite games to play with students is Fairytale Waterfall, an on-going chain of stories compiled mostly by the student. After hashing out an exciting plot line, we transcribe it to the page, utilizing grammar, the imagination and vocabulary all at once.
