About Me

2018 is almost over, so let's work together towards the goal of improving your English this year! :)

My name is Donald and I live in Chicago: the beautiful City by the Lake. I have a Master's Degree in English and have taught English Language and Literature for over ten years to both adults and teenagers. English is a beautiful language. It is also, at times, frustratingly complex. I look forward to helping you appreciate its beauty while masterings its complexity.

Take a look at the introductory video here (switch on the English-language subtitles by clicking the CC button in the lower right corner!) and thank you for considering me as a partner in your English-language journey!
