ELL 대화와 영어 사용법.

My name is Neil and I have a passion for learning and sharing what I know. I love teaching children in a fun and practical way. Spanish is my native language and I have enjoyed teaching others how to speak it. I myself learned English as an adult and can relate to the struggles that students experience when learning a new language. My goal is for students to learn in a fun and safe environment, free from judgment.

I am originally from Venezuela and have lived in the US for more than 20 years. My wife and I homeschool our three children, ages 19 (just finished college), 14, and 13. We have been homeschooling for the past 17 years. I've always been very active in our homeschool community co-ops, teaching cooking classes, science labs, geography and history (with a focus on Venezuela and other Latin American countries), and coaching soccer/bowling teams. 

I am a fun-loving teacher who excels at building rapport with students. I am a very patient educator who believes everyone is capable of learning a second or third language. With encouragement and positive reinforcement, I believe any student can succeed!

My family and I love music, though I am not very good at playing instruments or singing. However, my family always gets a kick out of me pretending to sing opera. Figarooooo! I love making people laugh and I look forward to making learning fun for your students. See you in the classroom!
