About this course

Janat Hetrick

Greetings! My name is Janat Hetrick. I am an English teacher and a certified online instructor. I have been teaching English, training teachers, and developing online courses for a few years now. I enjoy the outdoors, especially the mountains, and the best way for me to rest is to spend the weekend hiking. Another favorite activity of mine is reading. If I am not hiking, then I am curled up on the couch with a book, a perfect Saturday. I am passionate about reading and instilling the love of reading in children and adults alike. I read books to little people and help them learn English through audiobooks. I also run a book club for big people (A Novel Idea) - we read stories and novels in English and then discuss them - all online.
