English as a foreign Language
I love languages and teaching their speaking, reading and writing to students. It is satisfying to help a person grow in confidence, as they are shown it is not as difficult as they may have thought., and great fun to be able to communicate using a new language, or grow in the ease with which one reads, writes and speaks it.
