As an ESL Instructor I provided high-quality English lessons to children in China ages four to eighteen. I provide a welcoming and interesting classroom environment to stimulate learning. I strive to connect with my students, even though we are on opposites sides of the word. I focus my lesson around appropriate articulation, intonation and grammatical structure to increase the child's awareness and confidence in speaking the English language.

During my clinical placement at the skilled nursing facility I provided therapy targeting aphasia, dysphagia, apraxia of speech, and cognitive deficits. I completed dysphasia and cognitive assessments using the bedside swallow assessment and SLUMS. I worked closely with the nutrition team, nursing staff, physical therapists and occupational therapist to provide holistic approaches to treatment.

I cared for a single child in their home and implemented educational activities to help promote language learning and increase his independence in daily living. Toilet training, self-feeding and self cares (putting on clothing, cleaning up toys, cleaning up dishes) were taught in a nurturing environment. Child led learning was also implemented throughout the day.
