Summary

I am well-versed in the principles and minute specifics of English phonology, syntax, and grammer, and I have a genuine ardor for effective and even eloquent speaking and writing. I am a linguist and essayist by academic training, but I'm a teacher by work experience, with hundreds upon hundreds of tennis students. Handing down my cherished skills to others has been an overwhelmingly fulfilling and useful experience.
