Rob
Hello!
Hi everyone! I have a Masters degree in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL), and have been teaching English for 24 years. I've run an English school in Indonesia for 12 years, and have taught all levels of English including TOEFL and IELTS preparation classes to children, teens and adults from North and South America, Africa, the Middle East, Europe, and Asia. I enjoy traveling, learning about new cultures and languages, photography, sketching, painting, outdoor activities like hiking and snorkeling, and all sports.
I have been married to my wife, Jodi, for 36 years. We have three children – two daughters, and a son who are all married, and three grandchildren. We love being grandparents!

Teaching Style
I tailor my teaching to my student's needs. Lessons are very interactive with a communicative focus, because I think that is the most effective for fast learning. I use task-based activities in meaningful contexts, games, and of course humor.
