希望学生へのメッセージ

No teacher can help a student who is not motivated, and no student who is truly motivated needs a teacher (as per E. Gibbon). So a teacher's role is not only to teach but to motivate. I hope that I can instill in students:

• a knowledge of the English language as used around the world

• a desire to communicate with and learn from others in a lively way

• the motivation to continue studying independently for a lifetime

• the drive and skills to motivate their own students in the future
