I currently work ONLY with ADVANCED students who speak and write in ENLISH.

We work from conversation: listening, understanding and responding, the way you would with a friend.

You choose your subject matter -- whatever you are passionate about.

The result of speaking with someone who is highly educated and sophisticated is that you become clearer about what you think, and what you want to say.

Together we will strive for higher standards and thus contribute to rescuing the English language from the laziness, and downright abuse it is suffering in the mouths of idiots and criminals! (I hope you have a sense of humor...remember I am American and have been swimming in "fake news" for years now.)

Conversation can be one of the great pleasures of life and I believe it should be. It should be FUN to put our ideas into words, testing the waters, tossing out the words that don't work, finding better ones. In the process of having a good conversation, we grow. This is why I love teaching: because my students teach me so much. :-)
