Hello!

Hi! I live in North Carolina in the United States. I love traveling, photography, music and food! I have been lucky enough to visit Japan, Hong Kong, Thailand, Greece, Brazil, Chile and many other beautiful places. I have learned to speak Spanish conversationally because my wife's family is from Puerto Rico. I now know when they're making fun of me and teasing! I know how challenging it is to learn a new language, and look forward to starting this journey with you.

I live in North Carolina in the United States. I love travelling, photography, music, sports and food! I'm originally from California, so I'm a big 49ers and Warriors fan. So if you love basketball (NBA) or football (NFL), let's connect! I've been lucky enough to visit Spain, Japan, Thailand, Hong Kong, Greece, Ireland, Belgium, Portugal, Brazil, Argentina, Mexico and many other amazing countries throughout the world. I learned to speak Spanish conversationally because my wife's family is from Puerto Rico, and I just had to know what they were saying about me during our visits. :) I understand the challenges of learning a new language first hand, and not being confident enough to speak it in a public. I'm a very patient person and I love to laugh and have fun. I look forward to chatting with you soon and developing a friendship!

Specialties

Teaching Style

My personality is very friendly and laidback naturally, and that mimics my teaching style. My classes are fun and engaging. I like to find out what hobbies or interests my students have and utilize those topics for conversation. I will also use different articles to enhance overall discussion skills and understanding
