• ESL for Domestic Help

Jan tutors domestic help who speak in any language. In particular, her ability to speak Spanish has proved invaluable for communication between homeowners and housekeepers, children's caregivers, groundskeepers, etc.

Jan's tutoring extends to reading comprehension and writing as well, as often the homeowner needs to leave written instructions when they will not be present, and the workers might need to leave notes for the homeowners.

Because of her knowledge of Spanish grammar, Jan is uniquely qualified to explain the many differences between the two languages, such as in word order, double negatives, and why direct translations from Spanish to English often don't work.
