Description

I have dedicated most of my life in empowering others. I have taught individuals from every educational level (preschool to post graduate). For almost 20 years, I have been involved in creating listening and speaking tests with an emphasis on work-related topics. I have been trained to develop listening and speaking tests by the University of Oxford Delegacy of Local Examinations, a department within the University of Oxford, England and ARELS, the Association of Recognized English Language Schools, the earliest creators (1962) of semi-direct listening and speaking test in the world. I am a member of TESOL (Teachers of English to Speakers of other languages) International English Standards Committee.

My personal life is filled with love from my family and activities that related to them, such as baking, knitting, sewing, etc. My husband of 33 years and I are planning our next stage of life and enjoying our blessings.
