I have been teaching for more than 20 years and teaching online for about 5 years. I really enjoy teaching English and connecting with people from all over the world. Travelling and learning about different cultures is a passion for me as well. Life is an adventure, increasing (and also sharing) our knowledge is one way to help us enjoy it more fully.
I believe that learning must be fun and interesting. A good teacher understands his/her students strengths and weakness and designs lessons based on that knowledge.
I am not a big believer in learning from a textbook. Each student has their own unique needs, motivations and learning styles. Conversation should always be a central component of learning/improving your language skills.
Shawn, thank you very much for the help with the Writing! I wish I could to advance faster..., but, looking back I see it as remarkable progress. I make fewer mistakes and it is easier for me to find words to express my thoughts. Thanks to your lessons!

Great! Shawn helped me last year with professional assignments and I was delighted with the results. This time around he's helping me prepare for the IELTS exam. This first session on writing already provided me with feedbacks and tips I can leverage for the exam.
