Summary
Being an immigrant myself, I believe that I will be able to connect with the ELL students in a more meaningful way for we share the same experiences, challenges and aspirations. With more than 20+ years of solid teaching experience both from here and abroad, I have been exposed and gained strategies on how to teach students from diverse range of ethnic and culture background.
