I am an American from the state of New York, USA. I am a Native English speaker. As a teacher I try to promote skills in communication, listening, collaboration, adaptability, empathy and patience. I strive to create an engaging classroom setting, I value real-world learning, an exchange of best practices and a lifelong love of learning. As a psychologist I strongly encourage that students engage in our foreign language academy, which transforms the educational process into a fun project that fulfills their needs, desires, and promotes discovery, and creativity in order to increase their motivation to learn.
