Q:
What do you like about teaching English?
A:

Though I had never intended to be a teacher, my grandparents were educators and perhaps education was in my blood!

Along with politics! However, by the time Covid-19 came along and found me in Slovakia, I'd already taught in 15 countries internationally, and had made many friends and enjoyed a transient lifestyle. Since teaching only online from the time of Covid, I have been honored to have students worldwide, many of them still with me after four years. I enjoy helping others and watching often extremely intelligent people grow in their given path.


 
Q:
When did you decide to become an English teacher?
A:

I began teaching history and social studies, then branched into ESL, academic writing, business English, presentation and negotiation skills. I never decided anything, except to continue. I am still also a screenwriter and songwriter.


 
Q:
In your experience, what are the most common reasons for wanting to learn English?
A:

Work, travel, exams, interviews, presentations, deadlines, boredom! Representing oneself well in work and play.


 
Q:
How difficult is it to learn English, compared to other languages?
A:

I have studied about twelve languages and consider English the easiest for the beginner, apart from sound-alike words, such as HOUR and OUR.


 
Q:
How is American English different from that of other countries?
A:

It really isn't at this point with so much of the world watching Netflix as some sort of addiction, but not I.


 
Q:
What aspects of American culture are your students usually interested in?
A:

Films and television, music, sports, politics, regions and cities, sometimes parks and romance!


 
Q:
What's the hardest part of teaching English?
A:

Very rarely dealing with inconsiderate people, whether they are students or language school personnel.


 
Q:
What makes a good English student?
A:

Dedicated, bright, inquisitive, eager, with a sense of humor!


 
Q:
What's the hardest part of learning English?
A:

That is according to the individual. Some folks do not accept correction and seem to wish to make the same mistakes as if that's part of their lifestyle!


 
Q:
What is your advice for students who are struggling?
A:

Learn multiple ways to say the same thing, and soon to be dreaming in that language...

Also: Repetition is the art of education.
