CURRENT MISSION

To experience all the things that I teach my students.

ABOUT ME

I love to travel and experience other cultures. I am from the Hampton, New Hampshire but I'm currently living in Beijing, China and working at St. Paul American School as a social studies and toefl teacher.

PHILOSOPHY

I cannot teach anybody anything, I can only make them think. – Socrates

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm a social studies and toefl teacher. If you need test prep to help get into an American university I would be glad to help out. I want to learn about and experience first hand all cultures in the world. To me if you are involved in CS more than likely you are a giving person. I didn't get involved in CS for my benefit but as a means of helping others have a better traveling experience.

Bahamas, Germany, Greece, Jamaica, Saint Lucia, Singapore, Thailand, Viet Nam
