About The Author
Sherry Seto
Sherry Seto lives in a woodsy suburb of St. Louis, Missouri with her loving and supportive husband Steve, a retired aerospace engineer, and their sweet Shetland sheepdog, Fox. They have two married children, and three delightful little granddaughters they love to spoil rotten!
Sherry’s experiences in education began years ago working with young special needs children before homeschooling her technology gifted son, Chris.
To foster his passion in science and motivate her eleven-year-old to complete his lessons, Sherry needed to “think outside the box”. She developed a creative curriculum which involved a business that allowed him to build customized computers for local clients. She then incorporated the business into his educational program.
In addition to traditional lessons, Chris learned banking, marketing, public speaking, and honed his writing and networking skills by posting on tech forums and joining a pilot organization when he turned thirteen. All these experiences laid the groundwork for Chris to become a commercial pilot instructor with a thriving career in robotics engineering.
By the time Chris left the nest for college, his older sister, Katie, was already in Europe on a Fulbright scholarship teaching English—she came back home and, eventually, made her way to a PhD program in Special Education, specializing in autism research and developing curriculum for neuro-divergent students. (Yes, as the expression goes, “The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.”)
With both children out of the house, Sherry’s passion for literacy led her to the immigrant community and ESL (English as a Second Language).
She used all her past “think outside the box” experiences in education to create fun and innovative lessons for her ESL students, ultimately compiling the best tried-and-true exercises into published books focusing on basic vocabulary and grammar for beginning learners.
What makes English Vocabulary and Grammar Basics, Volume 1 and 2 unique are the hundreds of colorful, friendly, and engaging illustrations and well thought out easy-to-understand charts that support the text.
Sherry is currently working on Volume 3 to review and expand on the vocabulary and grammar concepts of the first two volumes which will be published on—sorry, Sherry doesn’t know exactly when so keep checking back on her website, and maybe, download some free exercises or ideas for class activities!
Sherry’s hobbies and other interests include cuddling with her “baby” Fox, caring for her numerous potted plants, reading autobiographies, attending Book Club, and working out at the gym.
Most precious to Sherry is time spent with her family—husband Steve, Chris and his lovely doctor wife, Sammie, Katie and her brainy physicist husband, James, and her three adorable granddaughters: rambunctious, affectionate, imaginative four-year-old Annabelle and her fascinating and completely perfect nine-month-old identical twin sisters, Margaret and Felicity.
