Subtitled Intro Video https://youtu.be/FEbzui8-GEM Hi, I'm Stuart & I hold a B.S. in Environmental Management from California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo. During my 5 years there, I acquired project management, team leadership & sport coaching skills. These came from directing my university triathlon club's championship, which hosted 400+ athletes annually, & later administering a training plan for 120+ club members as the student head coach. In my final year of study, I dedicated myself to planning, executing, & writing a 141-page thesis on beavers in an important California watershed. From these & other experiences, I developed appreciation for & skills in pedagogy.Mostrar traducción
Yo como profesor
"Tell me and I will forget, show me and I might remember, involve me and I will understand." A quote often attributed to Confucius, I strive for this teaching standard. My above experiences have made me a believer in this standard, shaping my "coaching" approach to language teaching. In this approach, I will let you lead us as much as possible. I will hold high expectations & give you important responsibilities from the start, but provide enough structure & help to make your learning manageable & fun.
Friends & past coworkers describe me as detail-oriented, organized, disciplined, harmonious & reliable. You may notice these characteristics (& my sense of humor) shine through our classes!Mis clases y método de enseñanza
For all new students, I'll evaluate your English history & listen to what you’ve liked/disliked about previous lessons or professors during the first lesson. Together, we'll establish or refine initial SMART goals for your success. We'll use Google Sheets or other methods to adjust your language-learning routines, track progress, & stay motivated.
While I'm not certified for IELTS/TOEFL test prep, I do offer classes where I'll develop personalized lesson plans following a more intensive learning plan "road map" which we will collaborate on and adjust regularly.
Between lessons, you can count on me to answer any question that arises during your English studies, for free.Mi material didáctico

Stuart is always well prepared for our classes. He always has a lot of options for what we can do. He always adapts to the student with his program for the lesson. Stuart is exactly the teacher who taught me how to speak English and not be afraid!
