Encouragement is the best motivator!

I was surprised and pleased today to get a "Recommended" sticker on my profile.  I have not been on Cafetalk long, and am still feeling my way around on the site, but I feel very much encouraged to work on developing better lessons for the students here.  Thank you to the staff for their positive support and to the students I have talked to for their kind comments.

I have taught students of all levels for a long time, and positive encouragement has been very important to their progress.  In turn, I am also encouraged by their progress.  We can encourage each other!

I am very flexible about the methods I use, because different students like to learn in different ways, so please feel free to request whatever you would like to do within the time frame that suits you best.
