I grew up an avid reader, with a mother who encouraged proper usage of English, so it wasn't a big stretch to become an ESL instructor when a position came available at the local junior college. I find it rewarding when students suddenly grasp a word or concept, and see their confidence build. After teaching in a private high school setting for three years, I found myself back in the junior college circuit, working with adults, who seem to struggle much more. With patience, repetition, and much good humor, I see them begin to progress. I would really enjoy being at the "other end" and helping those with a good grasp of the language just polish it up a bit in order to improve their chances in the business world.
