Because...
The most important thing is that you enjoy your lessons. If you enjoy your lessons, you'll learn. Remember, English lessons should be like chocolate: they should be good, they should be fun and they should make you want to come back for more.

I teach individuals, groups and virtual classes via Skype and other meeting programs. I work with both ESL students and native-English speakers who want to improve their English.
After five years teaching ESL in Malta (south of Sicily), I now teach ESL/EFL in beautiful Albuquerque, New Mexico. This is Mountain Standard Time in the US--which is generally 8 hours earlier than most places in Europe, 9 hours earlier than Russia and Israel and 14 hours earlier than China.
There's no better place to teach English than from America. With all due respect to the British, American English is the new and improved English.
