Experience
I, a friendly, native American English speaker, guarantee I can help you improve your spoken and written English at all levels, from beginner to top academic. I am an American, raised from the age of one in Cambridge, Mass., U.S.A. I'm happily married to a Dutch wife. I am a father of four grown children (whom I taught English!), and a grandfather to five (whom I'm casually "tutoring" in English!). I taught theology students at Korea Seminary, S. Korea, for 8 years. I taught young people as a Protestant pastor in The Netherlands for 20 years. I would in particular like to help those who want to improve their spoken and/or written English in an academic, business, or artistic setting. I have recently completed an 150 hour TEFL course, getting an A for the course.
