About Coach
Jeff
Coach Jeff (Jeff Santarlasci)
has been a
language teacher living in Taiwan for over 15 years. He has a Master's
Degree
in Teaching English as a Second Language. His specialty is helping
people whose
native language is Chinese overcome the conceptual difficulties they
face when
trying to use English to communicate. Now, he is bringing those same
techniques
back to the United States—to help native speakers of English face the
difficulties inherent in learning Chinese.

Jeff has on sale right now for Mandarin speakers learning English.
Jeff
is not only a language teacher. He is
also a language learner, just like you. He studied Spanish in high
school and
college, some Russian, and even a little ancient Greek while in
graduate
school.
Jeff
is completely fluent in Mandarin. He regularly
gives three-hour speeches and seminars entirely in Mandarin to rooms
full of
native Chinese speakers. He has become fluent in Chinese and he knows
that you
can, too—if you can avoid the common pitfalls of language learning and
the
particular difficulties that Chinese places on native speakers of
English.
"How
you learn is as
important...perhaps more important...than what you learn. By laying a
solid
conceptual base, you can go on to build your language skills as high
and as
broad as you wish."
