    About Me

    I enjoy teaching English and Spanish. In college I also studied French and Portuguese but I'm not fluent in those. When I moved to Nagoya I started teaching kids and adults at ECC until I retired in 2019. I wanted to retire young, lol. I often work out at the gym and also go jogging. Near Imaike station there is a JoyJoy and I often go there to play billiards (pool). I love playing pool and listening to music with friends. I like drinking but I don't smoke.

    Education

    UW-Madison, in Wisconsin, USA. My major was Latin-American Studies, but also studied Spanish literature. At first I wanted to study computer science, so I took several PC courses.

    Experience / Qualifications

    In the USA I started teaching people how to use computers, before smartphones came out. I did that in Spanish. When I came to Nagoya, I started working at ECC and taught kids and adults.

Lessons will generally last between 90 to 120 minutes depending on what the student wants. The way I teach is not a conventional way. I usually try to involve my students as much as possible in my lessons and try to make them independent so that they continue progressing even after we are done with the lessons. I can guarantee your progress during these English lessons in exchange I only ask for your motivation and your willingness to progress
