Why is English so weird?  I point out some of the factors that contribute to English's uniqueness.

English

Hello!  I'm a native English speaker, and I can't wait to share my expertise and knowledge with you.  I've always loved reading and writing and have done quite a bit of both.  I received my B.A. in English Literature.  I became a teacher through the Alternative Certification program.  I have a Texas Teacher's Certificate in English as a Second Language, (K-12).  I taught for 11 years at the elementary level, all subject areas,  using multisensory techniques.  I also enjoy working with older students and adults.  I'm very creative and will always work to make things interesting.   I also have a Master of Library Science degree.  If you need help with research for a paper or project, I can help you.
