Are you a TESOL/ESL/ENL teacher or a gen ed teacher with emerging bilingual students trying to  “figure it out as you go?”  Many schools are not equipped to professionally develop and mentor ESL teachers. Lingua Franca fills that gap. 

We offer individualized coaching plans, professional development, and ad hoc problem solving on a teacher’s budget.

Let’s Chat

Mentorship in the multilingual instruction community is why I got into this job. I believe that ongoing support of teachers is how we close many of the gaps that lead to teacher burnout.
