About Me
italki teacher since Mar 28, 2022InterestsReadingEnvironment & NatureWritingLegal ServicesMusic
Former attorney and experienced teacher, originally from New Jersey, USA. I'm pretty much curious about everything, and I'm happy to talk about whatever. Some of my interests include philosophy, literature, yoga, music, politics, current events, and studying languages.Me as a Teacher
I'm a good listener. I'm curious about who you are, what you're up to, and what you think about things. My goal is to help you express yourself the way you want to express yourself in English. My lessons & teaching style
100% conversational. I think we learn best when learning itself is a pleasant experience, so I try to make class as relaxed and enjoyable as possible.My teaching material

Education
2007 - 2010
Master's - LawLaw school in the United States is a 3 year program that requires you to have already completed an undergraduate degree to have entered. It's called a Juris Doctor, which doesn't exactly fit in italki's categories. I did finish Magna Cum Laude by the way though.

My first conversation class with Ray was exceptional. He is, without a doubt, an excellent conversationalist and a fantastic teacher. We talked about a variety of topics; he has a lot to teach, and the class was very enjoyable. I’m impressed!

I like Ray's method of teaching legal English writing, which enables me to write and analyse the legal memo.
