Hello! My name is Dr. Frankie. I live in Michigan, which is only a short drive from Canada. I have two big dogs and a tiny cat. I have been teaching and tutoring for more than twenty years. I am certified to teach English as a second language. I have my doctorate and can help prepare students for scholarly writing and professional speaking skills. I love teaching and have found it rewarding and educational as well. Teaching and learning go together. Good teachers teach. Great teachers learn while they teach. Each student is different and has valuable experiences to aid in their understanding. I am a lifelong learner. I believe creating a fun classroom that incorporates the student’s passions increases their comprehension and success. I desire to make a love for learning that will encourage them to be lifelong learners. Whether you want to become more conversational, perfect your writing skills, or speak professionally, I am eager to meet you! Let’s start this wonderful and exciting adventure together! See you in class!
