My love of teaching languages was sparked by my own studies in French in my native Canada. I was fortunate that the modern techniques of teaching second languages were in full bloom. The shift to communicative proficiency with an emphasis on real-world interactive methods suited me perfectly and I have strived to employ these techniques with my students over the last few decades.
The lessons I create are inspired by fresh articles culled every weekend. I rely on multiple sources each and every week in my effort to find topics that are relevant, interesting and topical.
As summer ends, there are a few openings in my schedule at the moment. Contact me if you would appreciate the chance to truly enjoy using your English in stimulating and challenging ways.
