Hi! I'm Christina.

I have been teaching English and helping students achieve their language goals for over 20 years. Currently, I direct an English program which serves approximately 150 Chinese visiting scholars working or studying at the University of Minnesota each year. I train and supervise each of the 75 English tutors who participate in the program. In addition, I teach online and in person classes. I have also been a private English writing and grammar tutor for the past 10+ years. I have taught classes in business English, academic writing, TOEFL prep, IELTS prep, conversational English, and children's reading comprehension and writing skills. I am bilingual in Spanish and currently working on my third language (Mandarin Chinese). I love language learning. My personal experience in language learning has given me the ability to understand the difficulties second language learners face as they move forward accomplishing their professional and personal language goals.
