I graduated from Oberlin College in 2008 with a double degree in math and politics, and then I moved to China.

I find it incredibly rewarding.

A battle-tested veteran of the New York private school circuit, I graduated college in 2013 and now teach German in DC. I lived in German-speaking Europe for many years, and I majored its language, culture and history. I fully understand the many competing demands on a modern student's schedule.
