My philosophy for teaching is based on the idea that I assume you know something until I see you do not. Having said that, we won’t just learn the basics of speaking and writing. Together, we will explore, discover, and understand the culture and history behind the mysterious words and phrases that make up the English language. What is important to know about my teaching philosophy is that I will not waste my time or yours teaching you something you already know because it is the next exercise or page in the book. I do not even use books most of the time beyond reference. This may not be ideal for many students. It is, however, my method. I adjust myself constantly to your needs, not the expectations of a pre-written plan. Ultimately, I am here for you and your learning needs. The following is my teaching style and the classes I offer at this time. 💯 LEARN TO EXPRESS YOURSELF!!! 💯 🤢 NO MORE ‘The cat sits in the chair…’ LESSONS! 🤮 See You Soon… 😉
