About the Instructor
I currently live in Philadelphia and teach in the English Language Programs at the University of Pennsylvania while commuting to New York City to complete my MA in TESOL at Teachers College, Columbia University. I have a BA in English Language and Literature from the University of Washington in Seattle. I learned English as a second language after I moved to the United States with my family at the age of ten. That experience has motivated me to become an ESL/EFL teacher. My wife and I love to travel, meet new people, and experience new cultures. I have visited or driven through nearly every state of the continental U.S. I plan to teach English at the university level after I graduate.
