I graduated with distinction from the University of Ottawa, a top Canadian University, with an Honors Bachelor's Degree with Specialization in Second Language Teaching.

It also includes study of different ESL/EFL teaching theories, as well as a focus on grammar, pronunciation and linguistics. It provides valuable in-class experience, observed lessons and a strong emphasis on curriculum design. This degree also provides a unique focus on bilingualism and multiculturalism in the classroom.
