I am of the view that every day presents itself with various opportunities to evolve and learn more of self, people and environmental issues, based on this premise I am open to discuss any topic a student is interested in and also topics such as music, crime and violence which is clearly a sore point in the world at large. I have travelled to Canada and my experience garnered made me eligible to expound on topics that can be beneficial. I spend my time with family and friends, reading, travelling, teaching and also creating music. I am a citizen of Jamaica, a high school and college graduate and an all rounded individual who believes there are no limitations to accomplishing any given tasks once you put your mind to it. My mom being a teacher has helped me to be able to do this job with the experience that was given to me where l had to extend myself to assisting her on days when she was either sick or just needed help with slow learners. I have also taught foreign natives our famous ‘patois’ also known as Jamaican Creole. I have experience teaching children, teenagers and also adults of all age. As an informal tutor my objectives are: To be compassionate towards others needs and help whenever possible to learn and achieve their goals.

Brian has always been a stellar teacher. He's always patient, understanding and resourceful. I couldn't find a more compassionate, knowledgeable teacher. I'll definitely be taking more classes in the very near future.

I was looking for someone to talk in English and Brian is a very good person for it. He is very kind, he gives you tips to get your goals and to improve your English. He has a very good accent so it's very easy to follow him. I strongly recommend him.

The lesson was really great! It's inredible what I've learned in just one hour. I like the fact that Brian cuts the grammar into smaller pieces. He starts with the verbs and even with the past tense and the future tense. As a language learner I think that's the best way to start, instead of learning a lot of useless nouns. Brian helps you to construct your own phrase. You (the language learner) are a part of the lesson. After 1 lesson I already have a feeling for this language.

Brian was an amazing instructor. He made the lesson feel comfortable, engaging, and easy to follow. His teaching style was patient, natural, and encouraging, which made learning feel fun instead of intimidating. He explained words, pronunciation, and cultural meaning in a way that actually stuck with me. The lesson flowed really well, and I walked away feeling more confident and excited to keep learning. I’d definitely recommend him to anyone interested in learning Jamaican Creole in an authentic and enjoyable way
