I've taught in China, Germany, Russia, Malaysia for many years, I know what it feels like to not understand a language and try so hard to learn, to fit in.

I offer what I wish a teacher had offered me, really USEFUL, really INTERESTING, healthily developmental leasons, at my speed, encouraging, welcoming.

I understand how children learn, so I know how adults learn too, we have to connect to where we are, what we need, and others. I use Art, and your interests to develop listening first, then speaking, reading and writing with real examples.

You need to USE language to remember it, so we will be DOING things, talking about it, I direct you, you direct me.

I want you to express how YOU think and feel, and I will show you how, to start with three verbs, three questions, and three answer forms. You can say anything like this. Then we build on this.

I love to teach, and am patient, funny, and human. Let's learn!
