I have a Bachelor''s degree in Political Science and French from New York. My Master degree is in Nonprofit Management from Colorado. I studied Chinese at Peking University in Beijing. Languages are my biggest passion. It gives me the chance to understand a new world and live a different way of life. I come from New York City, and have always been curious about different cultures and lifestyles. I spent around 10 years living in Europe and 6 years living in Asia. My background is very diverse and I enjoy sharing my international experiences in my classes. I don''t really enjoy writing, I prefer verbal communication. I taught speaking to all types of students in Beijing for many years. I just like to get people to talk. I also like to tell stories about life, and to hear them. Hopefully, I will get a chance to hear yours.
