I am very excited to be at the new Kindergarten center for Island Lake and Turtle Lake this year.I myself come from an ELL background. I was born in Ukraine and came to the US as a refugee. I came to America knowing absolutely no English. But years later and with the help of amazing ELL teacher along the way, I am now teaching English myself! I look forward to getting to know you and your student.
The best way to get in touch with me is through e-mail. I will be checking my email several times a day and will try my best to respond to you as soon as possible. Feel free to contact me with any questions that you may have.
