Bio
Engaging with language, ideas and arguments are my passions: I have taught English language and literature for many years. I bring experience and understanding to both for EFL and ESL students.
I strive to be a Servant Leader who promotes student well-being and growth: a language teacher who aims for relevant material and examples; a literature tutor who accepts there is more than one right answer, but some answers are better than others. I respect student contributions, seeking the positive and directing them to other approaches and insights. Thus they develop and gain confidence.
