Hello!
Let me help you excel in English. I am energetic and very competent and I enjoy seeing my students succeed. No matter what you want to learn when it comes to English I will help you achieve your goals. I have always enjoyed talking and debating with people with various opinions which has taught me how to use the English language effectively and it is my highest priority to see all of my students go beyond what they think is possible and make them feel comfortable and enjoy their time with me.
I am a Christian. I enjoy traveling which is why teaching online works well. My hobbies include snorkeling, playing guitar, downhill skiing and chess. I enjoy writing as well. I really enjoy hanging out and talking with people. It gives me great satisfaction helping people succeed which is the primary reason I enjoy being a teacher.

My go to method for teaching is Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) which emphasizes students ability to cope with real world scenarios such as making requests, accepting and declining offers, explaining things and expressing their emotions. Depending on the student, I will change and incorporate different methods that work well with a specific learner. For intermediate and advanced students teaching Western Culture is paramount to mastering English. Post World War II America and Judeo Christian Values are arguably the biggest influences on Western Culture and thus, the remarkably fluid English tongue. Teaching Western Culture is my area of expertise.
