I   

    I have been teaching English at UCC since January,  1975, when the Institute for Intensive English first opened on Bayway Avenue in Elizabeth.  I have taught all levels of ESL, but now my classes are all upper level ones- 5 and 6- as well as ENG 111 and ENG 112.   In addition, I have taught developmental reading and writing (ENG 088, 089, 098, 099) and ENG 101.
   Before I came to UCC, I was a part-time ESL instructor at New York University, LaGuardia Community College, and Columbia University.
