I started teaching English online in 2012, long before it was mainstream. I've lived and worked in China, gaining extensive experience with students from Asia and Europe. Since 2019, I've also taught English in the corporate IT world. I'm passionate about tech, global issues, politics, sports, and motorcycles, and I love keeping my students engaged with challenging tasks, games, and deep discussions.
