I believe when you’re learning something new, if you're having fun doing it, it makes EVERYTHING so much easier. When tackling a big goal like learning a new language, a positive mindset is key. For me, no matter how big my goal or adventure is, I tell myself, "Sure, I'll give it a try! Why not? Who cares if I'm not good at it yet?" The best way of learning something new is to dive right in and trust you're going to be fine. After all, you never know how much you might surprise yourself. Personally speaking, I love travel, learning about different cultures, sports, theater, cooking and goal-setting. I believe we ALL have an amazing capacity to succeed at big challenges!
Ich als Lehrkraft
I have a couple decades of experience teaching in many different settings--college students, corporate executives, lawyers, children, and more. I've worked with multiple different clients from varying cultures. My students describe my personality as easy-going, motivating, engaged, friendly and encouraging. No doubt. I know first hand how difficult it is to learn a new language. As your teacher, I'll make it a high priority to make our language lessons together interesting, interactive and fun!
Meine Stunden und mein Unterrichtsstil
I am a great conversationalist. As a professional life coach, I'm trained to keep conversations moving along with ease and enjoyment. Knowing how to ask really good questions is important. My relaxed teaching style makes me approachable which means my students progress quickly. With language learning, I know how important it is to have my students feel secure enough to ask questions in order to get clarity. And, because I have a fun, out-going sense of humor, others instantly feel at ease and ready to dive right into our lessons together.
