I believe that there is no better way to leave a mark on the world than by educating others to do the same. This is why I have dedicated over a decade of my life to teaching students in classrooms and online platforms. My educational background is in Instructional Design and Technology which is right at home for someone who is passionate about eLearning. The vast majority of my teaching experience has been in TOEFL preparation and ESL. My favorite subjects vary and are based on how I can incorporate them into English lessons. The teaching philosophy that I admire most is that of Dr. David M. Merrill who states that the real motivation of a student comes from being able to apply their newly acquired knowledge to solving real-world problems. Outside of academia, I am a professional musician with several songs on major platforms.
