I believe in an immersive approach to language learning. This means that I encourage all students to listen, speak, read, and write English within the classroom. Furthermore, I see myself as a guide who can inform and hopefully inspire people who want to achieve and maintain fluency outside of the classroom.

I hope to have productive conversations with students that will allow them to expand their vocabulary and practice the grammar learned during our classes. Students who meet with me should also expect to work on pronunciation, but I do so without interrupting the natural flow of their conversations.

In conclusion, if you want to improve your English language skills and learn different methods to reinforce this progression in your daily life, we should meet and work together.
