About Me
Introduction:
I fell in love with teaching ESL/EFL while teaching in South Korea the year after I graduated from university. I studied linguistics in school, and I love studying and teaching languages. I am a second language learner myself, so I have an understanding of students learning ESL that allows me to identify with them as learners, and adapt my teaching to be as effective and motivational as possible.
