Welcome to the James Kenan ESL Class!

We expect the best of you in order to be a successful individual.

I am Nivia Batista, the ESL teacher in room #65 at James Kenan High School.
I was born in Chiriqui Republic of Panama, but right now I live in Kenansville N.C.
I graduated at the 'Universidad de Panama' some years ago. I completed a Bachelor of Arts degree, and a teaching degree at this university. Later on, I traveled to Wollongong Australia, to pursue a Master's degree in Education - TESOL. I loved being in Australia and I encourage you to pay this country a visit.
In 2009 I graduated at UNCW obtaining a Master's degree in Spanish.
My favorite hobbies are to travel  and see new places, meet other people and learn about their customs and culture.
