Hello, I am from Las Vegas, Nevada USA. I graduated from Virginia Tech University. I am a Retired U.S. Army Soldier with 20 years of Military Service. I worked as a Construction Safety Manager for First Solar Inc. and Currently I do Maritime Security (Anti-Piracy, Anti-Drugs & Stowaways) on Container Ships for MSC. I was also an English Advisor/Mentor for Foreign Military units for over 10 years and I can honestly say these have been the best jobs I have ever had! I traveled the world and visited a lot of countries throughout my life. I have had so many great successful students reach both their personal and professional goals through English learning. I hope to see you in my class.

Me as a Teacher

I believe that meeting the needs of my students is a very crucial part of effective learning. In our lessons, we will focus largely on conversation while improving your vocabulary, pronunciation and confidence. My goal is to provide you with that language environment and help your journey be a successful one. I believe that the best way to learn a new language is to practice your new language in an environment where you can speak and make mistakes freely while learning. our number one objective is to get you to express yourself freely.

My lessons & teaching style

I focus on the 3 fundamentals of English learning (Speaking, Listening and Reading). I use ESL and IELTS for topic discussions to help in speaking. We will Read various Passage and Articles to conduct a question-and-answer session to help put your new skills into action. I use various materials to help achieve your goals.

Emerson is a great teacher. Before a lesson I felt nervous and scary to start speaking English, but Emerson made me feel calm and comfort, he gave a lot of useful suggestions. I highly reccomend learning English with Emerson!
