Laura Polk

ESOL Instructor in Virginia

I'm an anthropologist with experience in qualitative research, community organizing, and teaching English Language Learners. I'm currently seeking a position teaching ESL to adults.
I'm also a freelance consultant offering workshops that combine cross-cultural awareness with implicit bias to go beyond cultural competency.
I'm available to speak to your group, faith community, or organization about the following:
- Implicit Cultural Norms
- Intersection of Class Privilege and Social Capital

Contact me about a customized workshop!
