I have been teaching English professionally for 33 years. I have a Master's in English and TESOL training. My specialty is in teaching international students Academic English and test prep. I teach conversational English to adults 18 and above.
Me as a Teacher
As a teacher, I listen to my students needs and provide lessons that meet those needs. I use professionally made materials and give all of my students the structure, feedback and practice that will help improve their English.
My lessons & teaching style
My lessons are structured and organized and have homework, tests and quizzes to clearly show student progress. I provide a learning environment that encourages students to participate as much as possible by way of discussion and other class activities. My lessons cover many topics and always include students own life experiences as part of the lesson.

Thank you Curt for your lessons. I don't know how you made it but you gave me great confidence that I can simply speak and write in English instead of translating my own. My achievements are largely due to you! Thanks a lot! I will recommend you as a teacher to everyone who asks for help in studying English.
