Tod

Hello!

👋Hello, language adventurer! As you read, my name is Mr. Tod, and I'm a tutor from the American Midwest. Once upon a time, I learned to speak quite a bit of a couple foreign languages, so, I know just how difficult it can be at times - all the idioms and nuances, subtleties and the not so subtle. As I play lots of word games and study the ancient language, or two, I've found explaining peculiarities particularly fun! English has a veritable multitude of 'em! That said, the key to learning a language is not being afraid of it. You'll find, the more one uses it, the more mistakes one makes. The more mistakes one makes, the more opportunities one has to adjust one's word usage, make corrections, and consequently, the more knowledge one gains. The more knowledge one has regarding a foreign language, the more comfortable one is engaging with those, who speak it natively. 𝙈𝙔 𝙂𝙊𝘼𝙇 is to be here for 𝙔𝙊𝙐 in order to help 𝙔𝙊𝙐 with those mistakes, so that speaking with other native English speakers becomes easier and easier. My desire is to help you build 𝙔𝙊𝙐𝙍 confidence in English. I simply want to help you reach 𝙔𝙊𝙐𝙍 goals. 𝙔𝙊𝙐𝙍 goals will become 𝙊𝙐𝙍 goals. I want 𝙔𝙊𝙐 to succeed. When you succeed, I succeed. It's about teamwork! So,...What 𝙖𝙧𝙚 your goals?

I've been labeled a bit of a conversationalist, especially when the topics wend toward history, culture, trivia, and the like. I enjoy walking, bicycling, birdwatching, drawing and illustrating, reading, listening to classical and, of course, being a Gen X-er, the occasional 80s and 90s hits are a must! What do 𝙔𝙊𝙐 like to listen to and watch and do? You'll have to share that with me, soon. ; ) Also, I have an absolute RASCAL of a cat; he's an excellent mouser, and loves hijinks - he's ALWAYS up to somethin' - always has somethin' brewin', except when he's sleeping, which for the neighborhood's sake is a good thing that's half the day! He accomplishes much on 𝙗𝙤𝙩𝙝 sides of his eyelids!
