A former principal of a group of colleges in charge of the academic side, I have been teaching for more than 30 years. I am also someone who has learned other languages and know what is required psychologically and linguistically in language acquisition whether it is for a first language, a foreign language or as a second language. No matter which situation you find yourself in I can help you rapidly acquire the tools to learn your chosen or needed language.
I have taught both students and teachers all over the world and have set up, owned and taught in schools in Brasil and Morroco. Although I have taught at almost all levels, my greatest experience has been teaching business people. Nevertheless, I like to teach young people before others MIS-teach pronunciation including stress, rhythm and intonation...... although I do enjoy undoing mis-teaching/learning too.
I truly believe learning should be fun and as I really like to teach bring bags of enthusiasm to the learning situation. This is usually infectious and makes learning fun and productive. I always remain learner focussed and do what needs to be done. If you put yourself in my hands you will feel you are finally getting somewhere with your learning! I enjoy remedial teaching too.
