I have been teaching ESL for 5 years. I started off volunteering with immigrants and refugees teaching them the English language. I enjoyed that so much I got my TEFL Certificate and taught in Taiwan for a year to children and adults. I moved back to Chicago and began teaching business English. I am now in Costa Rica teaching business English to executives of mulitnational companies such as Colgate, Walmart, Proctor and Gamble and I also continue to teach children. I have my BA in Global Studies from the University of Washington and am starting a MA program at the same school fall 2011 in Cultural Studies.

I have also been in the restaurant/bar business for 15 years and know all aspects of service levels.
