I've taught every age from kindergarten kids to adults. Most of my time has centered around teaching at two universities: ﬁve years at a science and engineering school in Cheonan, and four years at a major university in Busan where I taught upper level classes for students majoring in English. In my spare time, you can usually ﬁnd me outside surﬁng, biking, hiking, or snowshoeing. I now live in Vancouver, Canada. In case you were wondering what my academic qualiﬁcations are, I hold a Master of Arts in Psychology. During my time in Korea I successfully completed both the Cambridge CELTA and DELTA certiﬁcation programs. With the combination of almost ten years teaching ESL/ EFL learners of all ages and levels, and the more formal teaching qualiﬁcations I've obtained, I have a solid foundation on which to oﬀer advice to English learners. I truly hope that you ﬁnd this book useful. I would love it if you sent me an email with any questions or feedback that you might have.
