Why Me?
What makes you the best person for your job?
I'm actually all of the above, :)) I have a great sense of humor, detail-oriented, flexible, reliable, experienced, willing to travel and go an extra mile for a client.

What is your best project so far? Why?
Teaching ESL - my students normally bypassed the next level and went directly to Advanced Credit College classes after a year in my classroom. I would start them out at the Beginning Non-Credit Level.
Interpreting for all of my clients - I'm very personable and very professional.


What do your students / customers say about you?
That I'm the best teacher they have ever had. That I make the transition into the new culture/language easy for them.
