I have been a certified teacher for 25 years. I love the "ah ha" moment when students get something, especially if they have struggled along the way. I use a wide variety of methods and tailor them to what works best for each individual student. Although my true love is teaching German, I also teach many students whose first language is not English, so I also have experience with ESL students.

There's a saying that "great oaks grow from little acorns." Homework, feedback, evaluating progress...
