All things English and ESL improve your academic success and student satisfaction!

Methodology

My teaching approach is student centered experiences so that knowledge is acquired at a deep level of understanding and not simply memorizing of rules and routines. For adults, teaching is based on the learners' needs and personal objectives- purpose driven!

Background

I'm bilingual and bicultural and love the way language is logical! I have experience as a teacher for students of all ages and have spent the last 10 years educating teachers! Teaching as art and practice is student centered.
