Hello, I'm Paul, and I'm actually from A little town outside of Pittsburgh, PA called Canonsburg; and, I currently live in Merced, CA, about 60 miles north of Fresno. Thanks you for your interest. I'm an active and experienced teacher, applied cultural and linguist anthropologist, evaluation consultant, and artist; and, I pack that international background and more into my instruction. Over half of my teaching experience has been in ESL or EFL: I currently teach digital art to adults with developmental disabilities; I'm a conversation partner in English with foreign nationals in programs at two universities; plus, I've taught in related fields at all levels of education. I was even an ordained Benedictine monk before I got married in 1993. So, If you are interested in an interdisciplinary and holistic to language learning, please feel free to contact me. I have lessons ready to go or I can customize a curriculum for you based on your needs and context.
