My Story
My story started as a teenage exchange student to a village in western Turkey where no one spoke English, and I knew not a word of Turkish!
The experience was both life-changing and frustrating. I experienced the difficulties of trying to function in a new language while learning that new language.
I return to Turkey as an English teacher after college, and began teaching English as a Foreign Language to K12 and adult students from the Middle East to Europe to Canada before returning to the US.
