I have taught idioms and expressions to elementary middle and high school students but primarily I taught college ESL students how to understand and integrate American expressions into their daily lives.
I've directed students performances of classic dramas such as Macbeth as well as original drama performances such as The Return of the Social King and Monkey Business for hundred of audience members.
I've led magazine clubs, and speech competitions as well.
In the classroom, hundreds of students under my tutelude have designed their own mini performances utilizing idioms which in turn prepared them for public speaking. Reviews
