In his work in the linguistic field, Mr. Setlak developed and utilizes the Individual Based Integrated Linguistic Approach to Language Learning.   This method is based in years of study in the fields of counseling, teaching, language learning, NLP, learning modalities, internal scripts, meditation, and the dynamics of human behavior.
A masterful instructor, he uses his ability to apply his extensive knowledge of human behavior, counseling concepts and Neurolinguistic Programming to the field of language learning.  

He teaches students to overcome obstacles to speaking a new language, and instructs other teachers in expanding their resources and refining and perfecting their own teaching practice.  

Mr. Setlak periodically offers language-teacher training programs and mentoring intensives for aspiring language teachers.
