Travel information

I am currently

Description

My name is Kelley and I am from Birmingham, Alabama in the U.S.

I have been an ESL (English as a Second Language) teacher for more than 25 years. I am passionate about teaching English and learning other languages. I love to travel and see new places too!

I have 2 adult daughters who live in the U.S., My younger daughter is married and has a precious new baby. The other is working and enjoying her first real job. So now that both of my daughters are successfully “adulting” I am able to travel and start a new adventure.. 😊

I’m 53, but don’t let my age fool you! I still love adventure. I love working with kids, teens and adults of all ages. I consider myself an introverted extrovert. I love meeting new people and making new friends, but I also like my alone time. I’m pretty laid back and can acclimate to most any living situation.

Please reach out if you’d like to host me!

More details about your skills

I am a trained ESL teacher. I have a Master’s degree in TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages). For the past 3 years I have been teaching in an elementary school working with kids in grades 3-5. But I also enjoy working with teens and adults!

I also own a language company where we teach Spanish online to adults. And, although I am not fluent in Spanish, I have taught beginner-level Spanish to students from preschool to adults.

My first degree was in Special Education for the Hearing-Impaired, so I also know some sign language. In fact, I taught my girls to sign when they were babies, and they were communicating in sign language before they could even talk! It was really amazing!

Age

54

What else ...

I am a Christian, so I would like to attend a local church wherever I stay.

I like doing puzzles and playing board games and card games. My students come to my classroom every morning before school to play Uno! 😊
