I am a 31 year old programmer who was born and raised near Chicago in the US.
My hobbies include reading, practicing yoga, playing chess, and learning languages.
I fell in love with language learning a few years ago after seeing how it can open doors to new people, cultures and opportunities. So far I have reached an upper-intermediate level in French, Spanish and Portuguese and I have studied at least little of German, Polish, Italian and Swahili.
I am also in the process of starting a language learning podcast for both learners of Spanish and English.
I have taught a few groups classes to friends who were learning English. I have also helped others learn the language by answering several thousand English questions online. Additionally, I have taught programming for more than 500 hours.
You can expect me to be calm, patient, a good listener, empathetic, flexible and to explain things clearly. I have been in your shoes so I know it can be stressful to speak in a foreign language and will do my best to eliminate as much stress as possible.
We can talk about anything and everything that interests you and use whatever materials you'd like.
I can help you identify areas where you English can be improved and help you work on them.
Using a Google Doc for each student to share any notes, comments or corrections during the lesson has been very helpful.
