Elizabeth Sheppard’s Summary

I am a tutor, a graphic artist, a writer, and a poet.

I attended the University of Wisconsin and Western Kentucky University. I have a major in English and a minor in Art, and recently went back to college for teacher certification.

I now tutor students learning English as a second language individually and teach an Intermediate English class at the International Center in Bowling Green, Kentucky. I also tutor students in English, and help people learn how to operate programs on their computers.

I am an advocate for nontraditional students, who are students going back to school after a break. I have a website, a blog, and a forum for help and advice.

I am on Twitter as @nontrads and @betsyanne.
