Hilke "elle"

I`m a passionate educator fueled by a desire to create engaging and inclusive learning experiences for all students. My expertise lies in fostering cross-cultural understanding and empowering learners of diverse backgrounds to achieve their academic and personal goals.

Holding a PhD in Education and a Level 5 TEFL certification, I bring a strong foundation in education to the in-person and virtual classrooms. My previous role as an ESL educator at Boulder Reads allowed me to witness the transformative power of education firsthand. Using communicative language teaching (CLT) methods, I supported adult learners in achieving a remarkable 90% success rate in obtaining their GEDs. Seeing students flourish through authentic communication and real-life applications of the language fueled my passion for this field.

Beyond academic success, I`m a firm believer in the power of education to create a more just and equitable world. I`m committed to fostering inclusive learning environments where all students feel welcomed, respected, and empowered to reach their full potential.
