I have been an English instructor, curriculum developer, teacher trainer, and orientation coordinator in the Canadian settlement sector for over 10 years. During my career, I have helped thousands of newcomers improve their English and get settled.
I can’t wait to meet you and help you get the Right Start in Canada!
