Hello!
For almost 30 years I have helped people of all ages and levels of knowledge improve their English speaking ability. Although I can and will help you with grammar, I am not a grammar teacher. If you are a very basic beginner, I am not the teacher for you. However, if you read and speak English, and want to improve your conversation ability, I believe we will enjoy having lessons together. I look forward to meeting you.
During my childhood I lived in Japan and France. My early years of marriage were spent living in some lovely southern cities in the southeastern part of America. As a middle-aged adult I lived in a number of Eastern European countries, Russia, the Philippines, and Chile. After doing all the traveling I care to do, I am now living a laid- back lifestyle in small-town America. I enjoy reading, especially historical novels. For relaxation I do "easy" crosswords. I am learning acrylic painting and immensely enjoy it. My favorite pass-time is playing board games with my grandchildren.

Teaching Style
I am a relaxed but animated conversation teacher. By using the Cambly conversation lesson my students and I find many topics to discuss. Not all students want a structured lesson, for those students we just talk about whatever comes to mind. My goal is to help the student become comfortable speaking English as their second language. I love to laugh, and I find my students do too, so I always look for something in our lesson to bring a smile and a little laughter to our time together.
