About Me

italki teacher since Apr 2, 2021

I am an extremely fortunate person. I married my best friend 29 years ago and together we have five children and now a granddaughter. He viajado dentro de mi país (los EEUU) e internacionalmente en Rumanía, las Bahamas, Honduras, España, Puerto Rico, y México. My hobbies include tennis, fishing, hiking, and a newly discovered love for drawing with charcoal and pencil. Si fuera posible, probaría una comida típica de cada país del mundo. (There are a lot of countries where I have not eaten the typical food, but there is still time to try!) I prefer foods with deep, rich flavors. Soy honesto, generoso, curioso, y amable.

Me as a Teacher

I am patient with my students, and persistent. In every lesson I strive to find successes to build on and demonstrate enthusiasm, energy and readiness. We always plan for the next part of the language journey and find ways to practice what we have learned.

My lessons & teaching style

AGES 13 TO ADULTS Each time a lesson begins with a student, I listen carefully for what my student needs. I continually keep in mind that successful students are persistent students, and persistence is built through success. En mi Maestría de Educación estudié la autoeficacia (concepto de Bandura) en el contexto de la adquisición de idiomas extranjeros. I combine a student's need for success (gauged most often by speaking and listening skills) and Bandura's work on self-efficacy, or the willingness to keep going when it is hard, to create a success upon success model in which I guide a student to where they need to be in order to experience a victory with the language.
