Greetings, My name is Brian and I am a native English speaker from North America. I was born and raised in an area called Houston, Texas. Houston is very close to Mexico and has a large population of Hispanic people. As a result of living so close to Mexico, I have had many opportunities to help people with their English. I never imagined that I would be a teacher. School was very difficult for me and as a result, I did not like it very much. I eventually learned that the reason school was so difficult for me is because I am a kinetic learner and school is mainly a visual and auditory learning environment, with the exception of P.E. and math, both of which I excelled at. I started playing guitar in 1985 and began teaching guitar in 1990. I was a professional musician from 1993 until 2005. I (officially) began training in martial arts in 1987 and I began teaching martial arts in 2005. I had my own business teaching children martial arts after school at local schools from 2005. My teacher retired in 2008 and I opened a martial arts school in 2009. I closed my school in 2020 but I still teach private lessons. I have lots of experience teaching and have had 1000’s of students over the years. I still teach guitar and martial arts and I am expanding my curriculum to include English. I am a very experienced teacher with a clear understanding of the process of teaching and how to streamline that process to make the most possible progress with the least amount of effort in the fastest possible time frame. That said, a students progress ultimately depends on their own efforts as much as their teachers efforts. It is not hard, but is does take time, patience and discipline. Students who practice every day get better every day. A good teacher and a good student can accomplish their goals effectively and efficiently in a timely manner. I love teaching and I love helping people, and I would love to help you master the English language. Thank you for inviting to your family, I will do my best to honor your kindness by doing a great job.
