Hello!
I just wanted to let all of my friends, including those of you I haven't met yet, that I will be taking mu Christmas vacation from 12/18/25 through 12/25/25. Happy Holidays everyone! I am an experienced, certified English teacher for beginners or professionals, specializing in adults only. I can chat slowly and clearly. I enjoy learning and hope to inspire others making this exciting language journey.
Over the course of my life I have been an experienced banker, farmer, public servant, rancher, sailor and teacher. I love animals, reading, gardening, art (especially landscape painting in oils), music (guitar, bodhrán, tin whistle, violin, piano), building historical doll houses, cooking and new experiences such as kayaking.

I believe the best learning environment should be an enjoyable one. Students will learn more, retain more, and feel more confident if they are comfortable and supported during the learning process. I love learning. I try to model these aspects. I try to maintain an enjoyable atmosphere where we can both learn about each other's culture, how to use language to improve our connections to the people in our lives. Cambly is a great place to practice speaking English! The best way to improve your speaking skills is by chatting with a native speaker( ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) like me). I am happy to help with all aspects of English such as reading, writing, speaking. Bring your questions and we will find a solution.
