Teaching Style
Open, friendly, inquiry-based. I would rather sit around and talk about a book with a student and see what they think of it and help them find meaning than just tell them what it means or go over grammar worksheets. That said, I also like grammar and its intricacies.
My Hobbies
I'm an avid fiction reader, poetry writer (I love sonnets), and movie watcher.
