I use a technique of offering multiple explanations for each concept, rooting my explanations in content the student already understands. I like to build a rapport with students in early lessons by learning their interests a... Read more

Learning a language can be frightening. You may feel nervous using the most simple of English phrases. I can help you get beyond your fear and start to have fun using your English skills. I find that in my years of teaching and working with young people from around the world curiosity crosses most cultures and sometimes correcting word order in questions is the little thing that opens up the language for you. Maybe you feel rushed. Maybe American society moves so fast for you that you are int... Read more
