I
have enjoyed teaching Intensive ESL students at Coe College
for 25 years and recently working with TSA students, too.
I taught French to Americans in Indiana and North Carolina
and German to Iowans in Austria before coming to Coe. I
like teaching here because our campus is friendly and it’s
easy for everyone to get to know each other well as we work
together inside and outside class, participate in campus
events (such as the International Club Culture Show) or
chat in a nearby coffee shop. Also, through its frequent
and free cultural, artistic, and educational presentations
outside of classes, Coe offers us all many chances to learn
new things outside our major or profession. This is a real
benefit to all members of the Coe community, and you’ll
appreciate that too. Moreover, I’ve found peaceful
spirit-refreshment at Coe. Two of my favorite places to
pause for a mini-retreat are the fountain in front of the
Racquet Center and the oversize books room on the second
floor of the Library. You will find favorite places, too.
