Introduction I've been teaching ESL for over 8 years and also taught high school for 8 years where I coached tennis and taught Spanish, Economics, American Government, and World History. I have been married for 15 years and have two beautiful children, 8 and 12 years old. I have been teaching at CPELI for over 8 years, on and off and in various programs. However, it is only over the past 8 quarters since I've been teaching Core I and II consistently. I love teaching students to writing and seeing their improvement.
