	I am native born to Florida, USA.  I have a 4 year Bachelors of the Arts Degree, major in English and minor in Art with an emphasis on Literature and Writing, from the University of Mississippi, Ole Miss, located in Oxford, Mississippi.   I am a non-smoker.  My appearance is "clean-cut."  I speak clearly and slowly when teaching, except with the more advanced students and during listening training exercises.
     	I have taught students from kindergarten age to adult.  I have helped some of my Korean adult friends study for and achieve good scores on the various exams for work and travel, including the IELTS.  I have been a participating member of Korea TESOL and served as Chairperson to the Publicity Commitee for the 2007 and the 2008 Comitee years.
	In the United States I have privately tutored teenage and adult speakers of Spanish in Conversational and Business English.  I have done this on-and-off since 1998.  I have been teaching and tutoring on a less professional basis for over 10 years.  I have taught professionally here in Korea for over 3 years.
	In the early 2000's  I volunteered with the Lighthouse Christian Ministries Adult Illiteracy Program at the Lighthouse Mission, in Lakeland, Florida, teaching homeless persons how to read and write.  I have worked voluntarily with various homeless programs for over 10 years.
I speak English clearly and without accent.  I know the technical aspects of writing English properly; word choice, word placement/order, spelling and punctuation.  While at Ole Miss I studied linguistics in the “Speech Therapy” section of the course ENG 506:  History of the English Language.  I have begun work on my MATESOL, and may finish in a year.  I am well-versed in Western social etiquette and business protocol.  Also, I have been a small business owner (please see resume) therefore, I have a strong understanding of the significance of the client or customer to the success of any business.   I place a high value on the importance of clear communication.
