Taking on learning a new language can be daunting, but the right teacher can transform your experience (and results) entirely. You probably know that already.

But what I want to share with you, from experience, is that the essence of the teacher-student relationship isn't confined to one-on-one teaching. Not at all, in fact!

A true educator extends beyond the classroom, offering a golden path of learning that you can navigate independently, enriched with their care and support.

Having a teacher isn't just about having someone to correct your mistakes or walk you through exercises. It's about connecting with someone who genuinely cares about your progress and well-being.

So if you're looking for a learning experience that combines autonomy, personal growth, and the unwavering support of a dedicated teacher, this is the path for you.

Let's take on this journey together, embracing the freedom to learn and the guidance to succeed.

When I was a grad student at the University of Iowa's journalism school, Prof Kenneth Starck was my mentor & adviser. Our friendship continued long after my graduation & his retirement. This wonderful man, great teacher, & world traveler passed on earlier this month. #RIP
