I am a native of Pakistan, and have been living in the U.S. since 1988. I work full time in the rank of Associate Professor at Annandale campus. English is my second language, and you guessed it right, I teach ESL. I love teaching ESL to adult immigrant students. They are very motivated and committed. I can relate with their stories and they can relate with mine.
