About Me
italki teacher since Jul 19, 2012Me as a Teacher
I believe the best teachers balance patience, understanding and humor with high expectations, optimism and a challenge to their students to do their best.
I am currently teaching students (age 12 and up) from pre-intermediate to advanced levels (A2-C2).
"Knowledge of languages is the doorway to wisdom."-Roger Bacon
"The best time to plant a tree (or learn a language) was 20 years ago. The second best time is now." Adapted Chinese proverb (as seen on Lingholic)
"As long as you live, keep learning how to live." -Lucius Annaeus SenecaMy lessons & teaching style
My teaching philosophy is student centered and focused on your goals. From the first lesson, we will focus on your learning goals, and we will make a plan to help you reach these goals. If you have any questions about myself or my services on Italki, you can check my teacher page, or you can send me a message.
I have two types of students: regular students and irregular students. Regular students must have a minimum of one lesson a week. They can book lessons anytime, and should book lessons more than a week in future to make sure they get the time/date they want for the next week. I also take irregular students, but these students can't request lessons more than a week in the future.My teaching material

I couldn't ask for a better teacher. He has a powerful mix of teaching experience, attentiveness, and compassion that makes the lessons very effective. Highly recommended.

Best teacher, editor and friend. He knows how to edit; he will impeccably correct your grammar, but still keep your content/voice.
