Why consultant and not teacher?

I work with students on specific goals. I don't want to only teach you basic grammar or straight from a basic book you can buy yourself. I prepare you to meet a goal or a challenge. I tailor classes specifically to each of my students needs.

Language Development and Sophistication

I don't personally believe are easily taught out of books. I develop classes that work with students interests, needs, and development.

Serious students in my opinion will work on grammar outside of class, and bring questions to class. I want to focus class time on spoken language. Development of sentence structure, intonation, and sophistication.

I am a firm believe that education is essential and people should continually strive to improve themselves. Therefore if my schedule, style, or skills don't meet your needs I will match you with another teacher here in the city that does! A good teacher is not afraid to refer others to someone that knows something better than them! We can't all be perfect in everything.
