About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Share information about tutoring English as a Second Lanugage at Literacy Service of Wisconsin

ABOUT ME

I run an ESL program which pairs non-English speaking students with volunteer tutors. We offer two tutor training classes per month.

We are located downtown at 555 N. Plankinton Ave (near the Grand Ave. Mall). Classes 90 min ea and run Monday - Thursday (9:00, 11:00, 1:00, 2:30, 4:00, 5:30) and Friday (9:00 & 11:00)

PHILOSOPHY

I am driven to understand what inspires & motivates others as a means to understand myself.

Music, Movies, and Books

Food writers like Anthony Bourdain, Ruth Reichl, Michael Ruhlman. Looking forward to reading "Eat Me" by Kenny Shopsin. Science fiction writers like Ray Bradbury & Isaac Asimov are always an easy read.
