More about me:
I believe in bringing cultures together and creating better understanding between them. One of the ways I do this is by teaching English because it is the international language. I have been a teacher for over 10 years, primarily working internationally for private schools and universities. I enjoy making friends from all around the world.
Most importantly, I'm a teacher that will give you a clear goal and plan for success. Furthermore, I also use the most advanced teaching techniques, such as simulating real life situations and proficiently providing you feedback (known as task-based language learning). In addition, my curriculums are based on CEFR standards for professional learning, teaching, and assessment.
