Announcements: Hello! It's wonderful to meet you! It is my goal to help you improve your writing by making your sentences sound more natural and by providing clear explanations for questions about grammar and usage. In addition to extensive teaching experience, I have wide-ranging work and travel backgrounds. I am confident in speaking and writing about economics, history, politics, and international relations as I have degrees in both Political Science and Economics. I am also adept at discussing business, having run my own business for several years. I lived and worked in Japan and Ecuador and studied Japanese and Spanish as well as Latin.
Hobbies/Travel: In my free time I enjoy reading and hiking with my family and dog. I do not have a favorite country but have been lucky enough to have visited several countries including Japan. I lived and worked in Sapporo for nearly 4 years and from there spent time in Europe and South America. I currently live and work in Canada.
Message from the instructor: I have enjoyed many years of teaching English as a foreign language as well as learning other languages myself. My roles as both teacher and student have provided me with a strong understanding of grammar and the challenges of learning another language. I am confident that I can help you improve your fluency and accuracy when writing and look forward to reading your compositions!
