    I have been teaching adults at the professional and university-level since 2012 and have an M.A. in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages from Central Michigan University as well as an M.A. in English Literature from Washington State University. I have always possessed a passion for the English language, and use this passion to help students improve their writing, speaking, grammar, and reading skills. I have studied to teach native speakers and non-native speakers of English and can tailor lessons to match any student goal.
