Biography

I’ve been teaching English in China since 2009, mostly in Jiangxi province. In addition to teaching, I’ve worked on building extensive reading libraries and providing students with opportunities to practice English outside of the classroom. My science background helps me to integrate science and English in developing Academic English courses. I received my MA in TESOL from Saint Michael’s College in Vermont, USA in 2015 and joined Soochow University in the spring semester of 2016.
