Kathi Hart, Lecturer

• B.A., Education, University of Colorado, Boulder, Colorado
• M.A., Teaching English as a Second Language, Brigham Young University, Provo, Utah

I was born and raised in Denver, but I have lived in many other American cities and two foreign countries. After completing my undergraduate work in education at the University of Colorado, I went to Sierra Leone, West Africa to live for two years. There I taught English and held workshops to train teachers in the southern part of the country. Following this experience, I taught in the public schools and completed a Master of Arts in Teaching English as a Second Language from Brigham Young University.

Since graduating I have developed several ESL programs for children, worked as an English consultant for a Japanese company, and taught in two other English language programs. In the mid-nineties my family and I moved to Panama, and there I studied Spanish. I enjoy teaching at the English Language Center at the University of Denver because I work with a very qualified and professional staff, and I am fortunate to meet interesting and intelligent students from all over the world.
