Skills & Expertise

Skype/The Intertubes

I teach English as a Second Language to all levels of students via Skype. Using the "communicative approach," I develop all four skills --- speaking, listening, reading and writing --- using academic grammar exercises, newspaper articles, TV interviews, flashcards, games and real-world materials from students' jobs. Payment is fast and easy via PayPal. Communication via Skype and email is a snap. Scheduling is easy and reliable. If you (or someone you know) are interested, send me an email to set up a free trial lesson, at no obligation.
