My Philosophy of Teaching:
I completed my TEFL teacher training in Paris, France in October 2011 and have since taught at more than one English Language School as well as worked with many private students in New York and France. In addition to my teacher training, I am an actor, writer, and performer. Because of this, I have excellent skills with communication, working with others, and being in front of small or large groups of people. I am a native English speaker, capable of very concise, articulate speech, and have a great love of the English language. I achieve amazing satisfaction from inspiring others to communicate. I enjoy the creative elements of teaching and using the students' interests to drive a passion and desire to learn. Amidst my minimal travels across the globe thus far, I have learned that communication is the key to understanding and appreciating each other. In France, I was able to have a much better understanding of the culture and people I interacted with by knowing their language. Therefore, I believe the more we can express ourselves, the more fulfilling our lives can be.
