History
I really enjoyed my Applied Linguistics major at graduate school. My favorite classes were Phonetics and Phonology so teaching pronunciation of sounds is a good fit for me. Very few ESL teachers have had the training in Phonetics and Phonology that I have.
Specialties
Accent Reduction Specialist Unlike most ESL teachers, I hold a Master's degree in Applied Linguistics (UT Arlington, 1995). In other words, I have the training to help my students with their accent and pronunciation.
