Bio
I'm creative and love to express myself in different ways: music, literature, photography, and through the use of language learning and teaching. I love travel and appreciate different cultures.
I'm charismatic and creative. I believe that different people learn in different ways and I love discovering and using new, innovative ways to teach and approach various problems or situations. I believe I am patient and kind, and have a passion for people. I am also incredibly passionate about my field of language studies and linguistics, and enjoy sharing it with other people!
