My name is Ian. When I first saw this campaign, My first idea was to make a little hip-hop video. And I did. I initially attempted to make something simple and funny but one thing led to another and I actually produced something more elaborate and serious. If you want to see it you’ll have to go to IG. I thought I could sum up everything I wanted everyone to know about me in this video but I was a little surprised by the outcome. But I think it still says a lot about me. I am really not that serious lol. Actually, I studied theater in University so I would say the video is a good performance. I listened to a lot of Hip Hop growing up so I tried to channel my favorites mc’s with some unexpected results. About me. My children keep me busy, but when I have time I enjoy trying to improve my languages that I have been learning through reading, and conversational practice. I love old school hip hop from the 90’s and old American Blues. And I still love skateboarding lol. Although, I don’t actually own a skateboard anymore. But, planning to get one soon lol. I studied Theater and Music and some Philosophy in University. As for my teaching style. I try to be everything I wish my teachers had been when I was learning languages. I work with what you know. I am a motivator, and a confidence builder. There is no need to be nervous if it is your first time taking a class. I am very sensitive to my students. Just expect to have a good time. If you are struggling with conversation I am going to work your brain out. If your advanced, I am going to work on you vocabulary and maybe your intonation. It might just sound like questions and answers but it is a little more calculated than that. Check out my video and let me know what you think. I really like how it turned out and had so much fun putting it together. I am almost embarrassed when people like it because I have never done this before. But I think I might do it again. What do you think? Do yo
