I have known Sam for about 10 years as a colleague and a friend. We worked as teachers together in a full-time EAP program. At the school, I would be the next in line once Sam’s students had completed his level. In my class, his students mentioned on many occasions how much they had learned in his class and how much they appreciated his thorough method of instruction. He helped beginner students get over their fear of expressing themselves in English. This is not an easy task at the beginner level. In his classes, he uses current events that are relevant to the students to pique their interest so that they would want to express their opinions. He has a vast knowledge of different cultures that helps him to understand the needs of his students and how to meet them. He also does a fair bit of prep work to be able to meet his students’ needs.
