I am a lifelong lover of learning, books, English, history, philosophy, words, and the beauty, logic, and subtleties of language. I am a creative teacher by trade and by nature, and find great satisfaction and joy in bringing out the best in my students. For me, few thrills equal the amazing symmetry, the intense dynamism, of the teacher-student relationship. I appreciate the challenges of teaching, and do not rest until my students "found what they are looking for."
