Teaching Teenagers

Teaching Teenagers.


I adore looking at

The guilty smiles,

Hung like fake jewels

On such innocent faces.



Butter would not melt

In their fair mouths.

Because angels in disguise

Only tell innocent lies.



The restless minds

Of impetuous imps,

Brimming with Life

And burdened with strife.



Are a challenge to reach,

And even more

A joy to teach.

I am English and I have been living in Portugal for more than twenty years.

I am known for being creative in my lessons and making learning memorable and fun. I also have a great deal of experience teaching P.E.T / F.C.E. / C.A.E. / C.P.E. / I.E.L.T.S / T.O.E.F.L. . The course I have done in creative writing is useful for teaching ...
