Originally from the United States, I have spent the better part of the last decade living and working abroad. As illustrated in the attached information, my professional and personal background has provided me with invaluable experience as an instructor of English.
I am a seasoned teacher with eight years of experience. Having worked on four continents and in varying educational and professional settings, I've gained experience in all forums of instruction.
Throughout my many years as a teacher, I have had the pleasure of working with both classes and individuals that included high school-aged students, young professionals, corporate businessmen and government officials. In addition, I have extensive experience in Cambridge (i.e. PET, BEC, FCE, CAE, CPE), TOEFL and TOEIC exam preparation.
Additionally, I have instructed a significant number of students in both business and legal English.
I place a supreme level of importance on improving the student's communication by focusing on conversation, interaction and comfortable language assimilation skills. I am a firm believer in utilizing numerous methods of instruction through the use of course books, conversation, audio/visuals, periodicals, etc.
I am available for all locations in Moscow.
