My approach to teaching is very patient and practical, given that I want my students to know how to handle everyday situations. I want my students to feel very positive about their learning experience and to know that errors are just a part of the learning experience. I have a lot of experience and can find easier ways for a student to understand difficult concepts. My students find me very kind and compassionate with a willingness to "meet them where they are" in order to give them the best opportunity to read, write and speak the language.
