I have done a little bit of tutoring in the past. I work with people on their writing, mostly on story, structure and dialogue, but I feel like language learning is adjacent to that. I have been a teacher's assistant in college classes as well, and I have been a student in a lot of college classes and know exactly what I don't want to see from a teacher.My lessons & teaching style
My teaching would be low stress and conversational. I believe to learn a language it is important to have the kind of everyday conversations one is likely to encounter in the real world, so it is my goal to simulate those kinds of conversations.
My goal is to produce a casual, social and fun environment, so when you are talking to English speakers you will be comfortable engaging and socializing.
I will talk with you about whatever you would like. Pop culture, film, history, nature and wildlife, your job, anything.
I'll try to meet you where you're at and work with you to provide a fun, casual but still educational experience that will move you toward your goals.5.0

We just shoot the breeze during the lesson today. Maxwell is an affable and approachable person. I'm sure that he has extensive knowledge and expertise in his field. I actually had a hard time to explain things, but he really understood me well. I might add, he was being patient too. Thank you again. :-)
