Hi everyone! My name is Joel, and I grew up in both Oregon and California, on the west coast of the US. I just finished my master’s degree in Logic and Philosophy, but have now returned to my love of teaching English, having taught for a while in Vietnam (with a TESOL certification) earlier. As an avid language learner myself, I know that the journey of improving language skills can be difficult. However, I am committed to making it as fun and useful for you as I can, and look forward to hearing about your specific learning motivations to inform my lessons. I’m so excited to begin learning with you all — thank you!
