About Me
italki teacher since Oct 21, 2021Interest topicHistoryFilms & TV SeriesWriting
I have worked in manufacturing, shipping, and receiving for 30 years. My experience includes sales and financial services. My post-secondary education has been in anthropology and theology. Recently my wife and I moved to the Netherlands. Some of my interests include cycling, motorcycles, chess, and cryptocurrencies.Me as a Teacher
I like people. My approach to teaching will be based on a strong student-teacher relationship. Everyone has a unique and interesting story and I want to hear yours! During lessons, I will correct a little or a lot depending on the student's needs. You are the customer! Tell me what you want.My lessons & teaching style
During my lessons, you will be corrected on pronunciation and grammar. We will discuss how much correction is best for you. Sometimes it is best to correct mistakes right away and sometimes to evaluate problems at the end. I try my best to find the correct balance and give the student what he wants. I can help with grammar, writing, vocabulary, and pronunciation.My teaching material

Doug is a good teacher. He encouraged me to keep going. I would have preferred just a little flexibility with the minutes that happened to be lost, but I was comfortable with it and recommend it.
