I enjoy seeing the delight on a student’s face when he or she has written, in English, an idea or a poem. I can see their confidence soar and they obtain a feeling of fulfillment. It can be a small idea, or a huge idea, but remember, life is made of small and big journeys, and they will grow wings to fly through life if they enjoy learning. That is what I do. I help students enjoy themselves while they learn!

I love words. I study the origin and use of words. I enjoy teaching students how to spell and speak words. Because I have a degree in Speech and Theatre, I will gently ask students to pay attention to their di" less...
