Introduction:
I belive in student-centered learning, limiting teacher talk time and maximizing student potential.
Hello! I'm so excited to meet you and start practicing English together. I'm sure we will have an excellent time and learn a lot from each other.
I am a 33-year old California dude who loves the mountains, the ocean and the desert. I have traveled all over the world and met many amazing people. Right now I live in Colombia, where I am working as an English teacher and learning Spanish.
I have many interests, but I especially love books, movies and some TV shows. I also love the outdoors, and spend a lot of time hiking, camping, biking, swimming, and exploring new and interesting places. Maybe you can tell me about some of your favorite activities and places you like to visit?
There's so much more for us to say, but let's save that for our sessions. Go ahead and sign up for some time with me and let's get started!
