We can focus on a variety and a combination of competencies such as writing, reading, and speaking. Do you want to improve your vocabulary? Do you need to improve your business English? Do you need help with writing letters or reports? Do you want to brush up on your English before you take a nice vacation to the States? Or maybe you just want to sound more American. I will tailor lessons to your age, ability, needs, and wishes.

I will use a variety of tools including television, music, textbooks, phone apps, flash cards, games and more!

About Me
Tell what it's like to teach for you, what kind of teacher you are, what kind of students you like
tell about experience and tutoring methods

I like teaching because education is incredibly important in personal development. I am firm, but patient and understanding. I want you to gain as much as possible out of every session. We will discuss your needs, desires, and expectations to ensure that we can achieve your goals. My goal is to help you establish a strong foundation and then build up your knowledge as quickly as possible without sacrificing quality. When you want me, but don't need me anymore, then I have done my job well.

I like students that are realistic and dedicated. The path to success is not easy and there will be struggles, but hopefully you will be able to reap the fruits of your labor. I will give everyone a chance to achieve success, but if I feel that you are not a good fit, then I will not keep you as a student.

People are motivated when something is fun. Variety is the spice of life. I approach learning the same way. I will utilitze media platforms in addition to traditional methods to reinforce concepts.
