Certified Tutor

I am a 36 year old, stay-at-home mom to almost 6 year old Emilia and to 1 year old Scarlett. I am originally from Stony Point, New York, but I have been living in Wilmington, North Carolina since Summer 2015. I spent four years working as a virtual teacher of English as a Second Language until Scarlett was born. After taking a little time off for maternity leave, I soon became a private tutor teaching my clients a variety of ESL, literacy, and English grammar concepts. I am in the process of completing the requirements necessary to graduate with a Masters degree in Educational Studies with a concentration in TESOL.
