"Dr. Loretta Helms is the consummate ESL/ ENL professional. I was given her name when we were putting together a team of supervisors for a large influx of novice ESL teachers a couple of years ago. We were fortunate indeed when she agreed to join our team. The teachers she supervised blossomed under her mentoring and expertise, and they thrived in spite of very challenging circumstances. She is knowledgeable about the field of new language learning, including current trends, but is also wise about how schools work in practice. She is a keen observer of classroom interactions and understands intuitively how to “nudge” a teacher to learn and grow. From our many conversations, I know her to be a tireless advocate for teachers and children as well. Finally, she is an immensely gifted teaching coach.”
