Librarian and ESL tutor desires to help intermediate and advanced English learners become more familiar with American culture through reading short stories

Judi is my favorite ESL teacher. She is an intelligent and dedicated teacher and has a charming personality.

Because of her experience as a librarian, she has a deep knowledge of literature. As we have read and discussed various stories, I have expanded my vocabulary, and improved my writing while responding to writing prompts.

Her classes are always fascinating. I have enjoyed learning English and American literature thanks to our work together.

Judi and I met during our college years. She has been my wife and loving companion for nearly forty-eight years. From high school to the present, she has enjoyed cross-cultural relationships. During high school, Judi’s family hosted an exchange student from Ecuador. Her college roommate was from India, and throughout college she had friendships with students from the Middle East.

One of the reasons Judi completed a Master of Education in ESL is that she enjoys teaching and mentoring ESL students of all ages, one-on-one and in classroom settings. She prepares well for each session, and her students find their relationship with her to be fruitful. Several of them have stayed in touch with her even after their teacher/student relationship has ended.
