Hello!

Hi everyone! Let's have fun together as we learn how to improve our English conversation skills. Learning is always an adventure, but learning languages makes any adventure even better. Join me as we discover the wonderful - and powerful - language of English. Please note that because I am often in different parts of the world, my availability (due to different time zones) can change.

My hometown is close to the American city of Philadelphia. (Philadelphia is between Washington DC and New York City.) I have family all over the world. I am most often in Europe. Two members of my family speak English as a second language! I have owned my own business and worked remotely since 2007. You will often see me staying in different places around the world. Why? I travel to see family and friends, not as a tourist :)

Teaching Style

My primary teaching style is "Communicative language teaching (CLT)", but I often adapt my style to what's best for each student. In every case, though, I try to make my classes both relaxed and exciting. We'll probably laugh a lot, too!
