About Colin
I am energetic and enthusiastic teacher, who has over 7 years experience teaching ESL in Korea. Prior to that I have had experience working in the field of business, but have found that teaching is my true passion.
Having learnt a foreign language to fluency (German), I am aware of the challenges that face learners of English as a second language. I also know what works best for a variety of different learners. I am a patient and understanding teacher and derive great satisfaction in witnessing a student improve upon their abilities.
I believe in the addage, progress not perfection, because not even native speakers of English have achieved perfection.
