Miriam is the best
Sinae, 24 lessons with MiriamI think I'm so lucky to find and meet a person like Miriam. She is not only a great teacher but also wonderful person to talk to. She is an expert in teaching English to adults by asking many different types of questions encouraging you to speak your own thoughts in English. She was always well prepared for the lesson and kept tracking of my English. I would definitely recommend Miriam to adults who want to improve their English.

As a former elementary school teacher, I am aware of how good handwriting aids in language development. I taught handwriting to young children (both printing and cursive) taking into consideration the proper formation (strokes) of a letter. I taught first by demonstration, then by imitation and in cursive writing, I showed students how to connect the letters to form a word.I taught capitals first, then lower case, grouping letters of similar formation.
