Hello!

.

I love all sports, gardening, affiliate marketing and "deep dive" research as well as computers/internet, and international travel. My wife Carol has many hobbies and teaches French/Spanish as a substitute teacher locally. I've taught since 1974 in both stateside (Illinois, Oregon) and international school classrooms (6th-12 grade) abroad (Greece, Taiwan China). I've also been teaching a) Spoken English b) English Writing (Reader's Brain Approach c) Business English, d) AP English Language and Composition and e) IELTS Exam Preparation. I teach by reservation best!

Specialties

Teaching Style

My Teaching and Coaching/Teaching style is "conversational" but rigorously demanding, supportive and informal with a BIG dash of humor! I model, lead and test you. I offer homework assignments to build your exam or job performance. I pause, when needed, to correct your grammar or pronunciation errors as well as to offer new vocabulary: (single words and idioms). SEE MY INTERESTS BELOW and on those topics I work hard for you. I expect the same from you. It benefits you. I'm a praiser, a phraser and positive friend inviting you to speak and write and read English! Can't wait to meet you on Cambly--see you, hear your voice/s/ virtually--in your speech and writing!
