I have helped many people, young and older, improve their ability to speak and write. I will help you understand ,in clear language, certain rules in grammar. If you look at my resume, you will see that I have received many positive recommendation from my students. I have taught English as a secondary language (ESL) at the Berlitz International School.

I took 8 years of Spanish classes and lived in Ecuador where I used Spanish on a daily basis.

My teaching philosophy is to help students engage in learning. I find that a personal connection to new information makes it more engaging and meaningful, and students remember it better too. It's also more fun.

That being said, if learning is more readily achieved for your student through other methods, we will do whatever works best. I cater to results, because my ultimate goal is the student's success.

If you want to improve your Chinese through dialogue, yes, I may help you.

I have twenty years experience in leadership and instruction and am CELTA trained to teach English. I have a passion for helping you achieve your goals and will work with you to do so. I can flex my schedule to meet your needs and accommodate your busy life.
