I am a linguist.  I can speak, read and write in Spanish, French and English.  I am well versed in the grammar and verb conjugations of the aforementioned.

I began teaching adults ESL in 1991.  I received my  BA  degree in  September of 1991 and I began teaching Spanish in urban High Schools and middle schools in February of 1992 until June of 2011.
I received my MA Degree in TESOL in 1999 and I have taught ESL to American and international students until 2012.  I have taught GED courses, math, writing and English since 2012 and I have lessons on my Youtube channel swandiveent

Darren was able to help me brush up on my essay writing as I started prep for the GED. I had not been in school in 20 years, and never got around to going back, even though I always wanted to finish. Darren spoke in a down to earth way that made things easy to follow, and he took away all the rust. I am happy to say that I passed all GED subjects on the first attempt, and I am currently holding a 4.0 as I am approaching the end of my first year of college. I never thought I would go to college, or even finish high school because of lack of focus. I am happy to say I have done both! Thanks Darren, you are a life changer!

I found Darren's method of teaching to be refreshingly succinct, relative to previous instructors. He explains the necessary subject matter in a way that is comprehensive, and most importantly effective in practice. His style is that of a real person, rather than some of the monotonous "talking text books" you may remember from school. 

My testimonial: How Darren helped me

Recently I was tasked with writing a blind topic essay for the first time in years. This had me nervous, as while I was certainly rusty, I could never claim to be a very talented writer even in school where the lessons were still fresh.
With Darren's simple essay breakdown at my disposal, I found myself confidently organizing each paragraph before my pen touched the paper. I was not stressed, not focused on or worried about the time limit. When I finished my essay, I felt satisfied with what I had composed. 

I LITERALLY received 99% on that essay (papers were graded by two separate instructors and averaged), and I feel that result speaks for itself. I could hardly have asked for a better result, and strongly believe Darren's methods helped significantly.
