About Karin Bates

I\'ve been working in the field of English language teaching for many years and have had wonderful experiences teaching abroad as well as in the United States. I have also discovered a passion for not only helping adults who choose to learn more English but also the tutors and teachers who work with them through my employment at Intercambio Uniting Communities as a TESOL Specialist and also as a volunteer working board member and training coordinator with the nonprofit Literacy Coalition of Colorado.
