I am originally from Canada, where I received my education and where I taught Latin and History courses until 2005, when I started teaching English abroad.  My first teaching position outside of Canada was in Ukkusissat, Greenland, a very small settlement on the west coast of the island, well above the Arctic Circle.  From there, I moved to the very much larger city of Guangzhou.  After a few years, I moved to a very small city in the midst of a desert in Saudi Arabia.  Then, about six years ago, I started teaching in Wenzhou, a lovely city which is neither too big nor too small.

I teach English to Freshmen, helping them to acquire the language and the skills needed to succeed in their content classes.
