TEACHING EXPERIENCE

I have taught a 7th grade Foreign Language Exploratory (FLEX) course. The course was one quarter long and includes some History of the English Language (HOTEL) and language appreciation in addition to studying the basics of Spanish, French, and German and some of the cultures associated therewith. I now teach ESL at the high school level, so future updates will be focused on this area instead.
