Amna Sanctuary is proud to offer our first English as a Second Language class on October 12. This beginner-level class will be led by our instructor, Ms. Sharon Mitchell.
Sharon has taught English internationally for nearly 40 years. After earning a master’s degree in Teaching English as a Second Language from the University of Illinois, she moved to China to teach English to university students. She spent two years working in eastern China, then moved to the far western provinces, where she helped to establish an English training program for adults in a small city. She taught farmers, government employees, and university graduates.
Sharon moved back to the U.S. in 2013. Since then, she has kept busy as a substitute teacher, taught basic language skills to retired Chinese adults, and even spent a month teaching English to Syrian refugees.
