I was born in San Diego, CA and grew up on the coast. I currently reside in Yalova, Turkey with my wife.
Ich als Lehrkraft
I have tutored English learners for years as a freelance tutor (It's how I met my wife) but eventually moved on to work with VIPKid teaching children of all ages. I am comfortable teaching both children and adults.
Meine Stunden und mein Unterrichtsstil
I believe the most important thing a language teacher can do is make the student feel comfortable. When a student is not comfortable is it can greatly inhibit the learning process. So, I strive to create a relaxed atmosphere where students can develop the confidence to speak.
In general, I tailor my lessons to match what the student wants to learn. If you prefer a more regimented class where we draw from an English textbook, I am happy to oblige. If you would rather have a conversational class where we can focus on speaking for fluency, that too can be arranged.

I've been taking lessons with Austin for about a year, and I can confirm he knows his stuff when it comes to teaching.
It's worth mentioning that he is a very broad-minded person, we've never run out of things to discuss, be it classic literature or DS-like games.
Thank you, Austin!
