Hello!

Hi, Im James Earl Skaggs. I am a retired bilingual educator with 23 years teaching experience. I would love to get to know you and assist you in improving your conversational English skills.

I was born and raised in Southern California in the United States. At the age of 19 years I served a two year mission for the Mormon Church in Portugal and thus became fluent and proficient in both Portuguese and Spanish. I became a bilingual educator and taught for 23 years. I am retired and live in Tepatitlán de Morelos in the state of Jalisco, Mexico. I am the proud father of four children and have a beautiful infant grandson.
