Experience Summary
I taught at the College of Extended Learning, CSUSB, for 5 years. Our student body consisted of students from Asia, the Middle East and South America. I am currently teaching at California Baptist University in Riverside, CA. Our student body is primarily Asian, with the addition of many student athletes from around the world. My job is to prepare these students to succeed in either undergraduate or graduate programs at the university.
Teaching Style
I believe that getting students to relax is key to establishing a classroom environment conducive to learning. There is no way to learn a new language without making mistakes, so feeling comfortable is key to success. I delight in finding the best way to reach each of my students.
My Hobbies
I referee AYSO soccer, swim, & ski. In addition I am active with St. Vincent de Paul, a Catholic charitable organization serving the poor.
Other Comments
I spent five years in Denmark a long time ago. I learned Danish, and am still fluent. I have experienced the struggles and frustrations of learning a new language - as well as the triumphs.
