About me

Hi,

My name is John D. and I am originally from Southern California. However, I have a residence in Hawai'i and I have traveled the world.

I am very interested in history and current affairs.

It's important that my students have lots of listening material because that is also how we learned our own mother tongues. Entertainment is a GREAT way to learn a language. You are even more motivated to learn the language when you are entertained. So I make every effort to keep my students engaged.

If you book a trial lesson with me, I will teach you how to easily teach yourself a new language using modern technology that you already have in your own homes. It is simple.
