I started teaching English overseas because I wanted to travel. Since elementary school, I had dreamed of seeing the world. I took my rst teaching assignment in Dalian, China because I wanted to practice the Chinese I had learned in college. I had no idea how passionate I would become about teaching. Matthew Eng
I graduated from university with a degree in anthropology and a hunger for traveling and studying languages. On a suggestion from my international student friends, I looked at Japan as a destination to explore. My rst teaching position was in a small town north of Tokyo at a large school with multiple satellite branches. Teya Tanner
I have taught ESL for more than thirty years. Being an ESL teacher has allowed me the opportunity to teach (and live!) in places I had always dreamed of living: Australia, Fiji, Mexico, Grenada, Guyana, Japan, and the Philippines to name just a few! Julia Ruskin
My original plan was to stay in Barcelona for one year. One year turned into four! During those four years, I had the opportunity to travel all over Catalunya and Spain, throughout much of Europe, and even to Africa, Israel, and Vietnam. The experience I had just living the everyday life in Barcelona was absolutely life changing! I make it my goal to share all that good stuff with my students! C O U R S E
