English (ESL) with Jacquece M.

Prior to teaching English Second Language, I was a preschool teacher at child care centers for over 20 years. I have experience teaching infants to adults. For the past 7 years, I have been an ESL 1-1 tutor and an instructor at a local college near me. I am passionate about teaching ESL to all ages. I focus on having my classes be student-led based upon their goals/needs for each session. Each student is open to give me their target areas in what they want to learn, while I add on to other areas that will support them in any conversation. In addition to ESL, I am an Academic Coach and pursing my certificate in mindfulness coaching. I think these other areas are important, too, because it brings awareness as life sometimes gives us stressors that may become unhealthy. I make sure as an Academic Coach, motivation is always present. Learning the skills of being a mindfulness coach, I support each student at the end of the each session as we practice breathing and other ways to relieve stress.
