Thanks for your interest. I’m a seasoned, interdisciplinary educator, applied anthropologist, language instructor, evaluator, and artist with over 40 years of professional, international experience. In addition to nearly 10 years of ESL teaching experience at multiple levels, I have 12 additional years of teaching experience in applied anthropology, Spanish, special education, and art. Before getting married in 1993, I was an ordained monk for nearly 8 years . Throughout the years I have studied, taught, and created art.
TESOL since 1981. Anthropology (Ph.D.); Int'l & Comp. Ed. (M.Ed.); Theology (M.Div.); & Spanish (BA)

지도 경험
As a teacher I’m guided by a line from Don Quijote, “Cada uno es hijo de sus obras.” (“We are all the children of our accomplishments.”) and an anthropological observation that “education is identity change.” Learning is more than the acquisition of new skills, it’s the emergence of a new identity. I first saw it in my dissertation research, and then I began to see it everywhere. Learning anything new, especially another language, means becoming someone new. These insights continually challenge me to offer relevant instructional opportunities that allow learners to experience themselves engaging in new practices that they can then convert into newer versions of themselves.
내 강의 및 지도 스타일
Language teaching has evolved over the 40 years that I’ve been teaching. In my instructional approach, which is heavily influenced by my training and experience in anthropology and sociolinguistics, I try to include methods and practices that have endured the test of time. After presenting an overview of the lesson, I begin with traditional exercises that activate listening, speaking, and writing skills. These interactive exercises are linked to the lessons' themes, and they set the stage for content- and situation-based activities that emphasize communicative competence. When possible, I also like to include reading and writing during and after the session accompanied by verbal reflection.

Paul is a great mentor not only in terms of teaching, but also in the sense that he could often provide valuable insights into some real-life problems such as interview preparation.

Paul helps me develop both my speaking and grammar skills. I take classes on a regular basis and I like it that he always asks interesting questions and maintains the conversation. He listens and respects your opinion no matter how old you are.
