Gateways ESL Virtual School

Over the years, I have taught students from all over the world on many subjects.  I have taught classes on English, Math, Chemistry, Science and Biblical Studies. I have repeatedly seen success with students on their scores in their learning institutions.  With this success, a marked improvement comes with their confidence and that gives them great momentum for the future.

Amy Schmidt was with us for the summer of 2007 and instructed the summer camp.  Amy is a creative and very exciting teacher and brought a high level of excellence to the classroom.  With a bachelors of education and years of experience, she quickly had an impact on the Korean students. 

Tamara Larson was also with us this summer and brought great instruction to many of the students.  With a bachelors of Arts and with teaching experience, Tamara had a great impact on the Korean students.  One of Tamara's exceptional gifts is entering into the students world and teaching from this place.  The students naturally gravitated to her and when the camp was over, many of them were crying.
