Here is a little about me: I am a self-motivated, autonomous person, who enjoys connecting with people. I love biking, keeping fit, cross-cultural discussions, sharing language learning tips, and learning new ways to look at things. I have taught “English as another Language (EAL)” for many years in high schools, colleges and universities, in Canada, Mexico, Nigeria and Kenya. I now teach one-to-one online. I am currently practicing Spanish, but continue to read in French and German, and I speak these languages from time to time with friends. I believe commitment and passion are necessary when we want to see progress in our target language(s). For this reason, I work best with learners who are willing to practice between classes. Punctuality and mutual respect, lightheartedness about mistakes, and fun in learning are all important in the language-learning journey. Thank you for reading my introduction.
