exposed me to different teaching
styles and the feedback from my
own lesson was enlightening.

I wonder if it is going to be difcult
for me to adjust to being just an
average person on the street back
home after being treated like a rock
star here in China! I bet strangers
wont be stopping me on the streets
of San Antonio asking to have their
picture taken with me! Thanks Oxford

Kelly Holmes

I started teaching English overseas
because I wanted to travel. Since
elementary school, I had dreamed of
seeing the world. I took my rst teaching
assignment in Dalian, China because I
wanted to practice the Chinese I had
learned in college. I had no idea how
passionate I would become about teaching.
Matthew Eng

I graduated from university with a degree in
anthropology and a hunger for traveling and
studying languages. On a suggestion from
my international student friends, I looked at
Japan as a destination to explore. My rst
teaching position was in a small town north
of Tokyo at a large school with multiple
satellite branches.
Teya Tanner

I have taught ESL for more than thirty years.
Being an ESL teacher has allowed me the
opportunity to teach (and live!) in places I
had always dreamed of living: Australia, Fiji,
Mexico, Grenada, Guyana, Japan, and the
Philippines to name just a few!
Julia Ruskin

My original plan was to stay in Barcelona for
one year. One year turned into four! During
those four years, I had the opportunity
to travel all over Catalunya and Spain,
throughout much of Europe, and even to
Africa, Israel, and Vietnam. The experience I
had just living the everyday life in Barcelona
was absolutely life changing! I make it my goal
to share all that good stuff with my students!
