I believe that excellence is the product of a group. As an ESL instructor and as a coordinator for the Page One Writing and Language Center, I try to create a vibrant and welcoming atmosphere that encourages students and staff to participate in a meaningful way. I believe that learning and tutoring are better if voices are heard and ideas can come to light. These are the principles that I bring to my years of teaching ESL classes and as one of the coordinators at the Writing center. I am always inspired by those around me who listen and ask tough questions. For it is these interactions that make tomorrow better than today.
