I start lessons after outlining the student's specific goals (lessons, homework, subject areas). The conversation includes an assessment of the student's working language competency (written and verbal). From there, my usual approach is to introduce relevant principles and set appropriate exercises—either from the student's coursework or my own knowledge—which are designed to reinforce the student's knowledge through practice and repetition.

There is more than one English, and I have an excellent working knowledge of the differences between American, British, Australian and New Zealand Englishes. Understanding the nuances of different Englishes broadens working knowledge of language overall and supports more effective communication across the English-speaking world.

I am able to learn content quickly and communicate it effectively to people from diverse learning and cultural backgrounds.
