Hello!

All ages and levels are welcomed. Hello, my name is Matthew and I am originally from California, USA. I grew up about 2 hours away from San Francisco. I have had a number of different jobs, including working in theme parks, on cruise ships, teaching English in both China (Chengdu) and Poland (Krakow), and currently work as a flight attendend out of Denver, Colordao. Because I am a flight attendant I do not have a set schedule, so I update my schedule about a week before the days I can offer. I really enjoy languages. I have been studying German since 2006 and I started Chinese and Polish because I have lived in both countries.

I am currently a flight attendent working out of the airport in Denver, Colorado for a major airline. Prior to working in the airline industry, I used to teach English in Poland and China. I also worked on cruise ships so I have seen a number of different countries and ports. My favorite countries I visited on ships includ Tahiti, Germany, Japan, New Zealand, Australia, Sweden, and Norway. I also enjoy painting and studying art history, especially art from the impressionism era. I also do a lot of craft making videos.

Teaching Style

I really like making classes fun and engaging. I really want to see my students accomplish their language goals, so I am very patient and supportive. I especially like helping with speaking and conversational practice. For children I like to use a lot of props, visuals, and puppets.
