Mary Elizabeth

Hi, my name is Mary Elizabeth. You can call me Beth. I live in the United States in the state of New York. My college degree is English Literature. I love to read. I like walking, bike riding, cross country skiing, gardening, snowshoeing and playing with my cats. I am learning German, Spanish and Italian. I hope you will learn with me. Thank you. In 2000, I began tutoring reading and I tutored a student in Spanish. I did this until 2008. I took a 120 hour TEFL course, Teaching English as a Foreign Language. I took an ESL course which focused on teaching children: classroom management, using games and teaching phonics. In college, I tutored sciences in their Office of Special Programs. We will have fun while learning in the way which is best for you. I know that everyone does not learn in the same way. At first, learners do not know grammar words and that is fine. We will learn what we need as we go along. If you want to spend the time only on conversations, that will be what we focus on.
