Where are you from?

I grew up in Texas, but lived most of my life in Wisconsin and Florida.

How long have you been in Mexico?

In the past I lived in Cuernavaca and Querétaro for 6 years, but returned to Florida for work as a psychotherapist. I am now retired and have lived in Querétaro for the past three years.

How long have you been with UE?

I’ve been with UE since October, 2018.

Have you taught anywhere else?

I taught English at Tec de Monterrey Prepa in the past, but I also taught as an Adjunct Professor at a Florida University for 8 years.

What do you like about teaching at United English?

The students are by far the main reason I enjoy teaching at UE. They are motivated to learn and eager to advance their lives with this language. They have a wonderful sense of humor and eagerly demonstrate their appreciation. The teachers and staff are professional and dedicated to providing a creative learning environment for the students.

What advice can you offer to language learners?

I suggest that students remain patient in the process of learning. English can be challenging, but students who maintain their study and practice will be rewarded with the ability to express their thoughts and feelings.
