Hi!
I’m a globetrotting English teacher with a passion for storytelling—both in the classroom and on the page. When I’m not teaching academic writing or critical reading (my specialties!), I write creative nonfiction about life abroad. Want a taste? Check out my podcasts. I´m also working on a novel about the American invasion of the colonies of Canada in 1812. From Canadian army reserves to supply chain inventory management, my unconventional path fuels my teaching: I help students turn ideas into powerful writing. Let’s discuss travel, history, or cross-cultural quirks—I’ve taught in 7 countries since 2004!Mostrar traducción
Yo como profesor

I teach teenagers aged 14 and above and adults.Mis clases y método de enseñanza
My lessons are customized to your needs. I won't push something on you that you already know or don't want. I am a facilitator. I use a Socratic method of teaching where I ask questions and use your answers to guide what I teach and help you learn. Our sessions will be interactive where I encourage you to ask me questions. I don't just hand out answers but help you to find them. I support my teaching with videos, interactive websites, visuals and quizzes.
Your reading and writing are done outside of class time. During class, I will check your work with you.
Whatever we do is focused on your needs.
Contact me for a trial lesson to see if we'll be happy with each other. CheersMi material didáctico

Experiencia docente

English TeacherHere on Italki, I have guided adults to improve their English for the workplace, job interviews, test preparation, and conversation. Typically, my test prep students score IELTS 7 or better the first time they do the test. They succeed because I coach them to think, speak and write in English and to stop translating. During this time, I teach from my ebook, "Writing Attention-Getting Paragraphs." In 2022, I was in the top 1% group of English teachers here in Italki.
