Introduction

SpeaksEnglish, Chinese

★Developing critical thinking. Intellectual development. ★Discussing books, film, politics and social issues or topics students prefer. ★I teach fast thinking English. Lots of humour and interaction. ★Developing a natural native speaker style. ★20+ years of overseas English teaching in Taiwan ★Simply talk to me to improve your debating skills and make your arguments solid. 1. Improve your speaking and thinking skills through conversation. 2. Text oriented, that means a shared book or story or article. 3. Intellectual development is important so lots of thinking in English rather than popular idioms. 4. There will be lots of questions and time to answer. 5. My approach is classical, it's called paideia. I get students to think and understand any errors in their answers that show unclear thinking strategies. I taught in England for over 12 years and have been teaching in Taiwan for over 20 years: in kindergardens, language cramschools, junior high schools, international schools and universities. My students were from all over the world: Britain, Taiwan, Hong Kong, China, Japan, Malaysia, Indonesia, and so on.

    I like art and literature, so I found Paul's method of discussing short stories and all the cultural references developed very interesting.
