Ms. Jessica Wendland
After achieving a bachelor’s degree in linguistics, I found that I enjoy working with languages. I teach English as a second language to students anywhere between kindergarten age to adults. I cover all aspects of language; speaking, reading, writing and listening. However, I can focus on one more than another if that is preferred. I like working with people and being a part of their learning journeys. I strongly believe one can go or do anything having the ability to use another language, especially English with its growing popularity.

I work to design individualized and engaging lessons that support each learner’s unique needs and goals. My aim is to help students build confidence, curiosity, and a lasting love of learning.
