Hello, my name is Stephanie.
I teach English as a second language.
In the United States we call that E-S-L.
I've been teaching E-S-L for four years.
I started when I started college.
I used to teach on Thursdays and Fridays for, an hour and half every night.
Most of my students are from Guatemala, and Mexico.
Although I've also had students from Czechoslovakia and Poland.
I really enjoy teaching English because it lets me meet people from other countries, and it's very nice to see, how the students progress.
I really like it when, I spend a lot of time trying to teach someone something, and they finally learn it.
It's very exciting.
