About
I love it when a student or students show they're learning because they want to and show it by class participation! I graduated from UVa with a Batchelor's degree in Spanish literature. This experience brought me to full fluency in Spanish. My wife & I made a job oriented move to Venezuela where we lived from 1975 to 2015. Here I taught English to individuals seeking to improve their job opportunities. It was a very gratifying experience.. We moved from there to Brazil where I taught Spanish classes to a company's employees for an extended time. We returned to the US in January of this year, 2022. I have an international teacher's certificate from Tesol International.
