关于杰弗里

One of my primary objectives as an instructor of English is to help students strengthen their written and oral communication skills. In my courses, I stress the importance of the precise articulation of ideas and opinions, the potency of language to persuade (rhetoric), and the overall beauty and wonder of the English language. 我保证 that, as one of my students, you will enjoy a thought-provoking, enlightening, and 有趣的体验!
