English as a Second Language

ESL tutorial classes are customized to meet the needs of students. If and when there is a greater need for a stand-alone ESL class with its own curriculum, we provide that.

Bio
Jennie is a graduate of Oberlin College where she earned an A.B. in French Language and Medieval Studies, and of Hunter College of C.U.N.Y. where she earned a Masters in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL). She has been an ESL/ELL teacher for 29 years, the last 21 of which have been at Eaglebrook. Jennie shared that strange as it may seem, she particularly enjoys teaching grammar and helping students unlock the mysteries of the English language.

After living in the dorm for twelve years (the first two in Halsted and the last ten in Flagler) with her husband, Bart, and their two children, John '09 and Amelia '11, her family now lives off-campus in South Deerfield. In addition to teaching and raising her children, both of whom grew up on campus and are Eaglebrook graduates, Jennie is a folksinger and is a member of the Franklin County Musicians Cooperative, Coop Concerts. She invites you to check out her music on iTunes.
