"Since 2003 I have been TEFL-certified through Bridge Education Group as an ESL instructor. From 2003-2007 I taught English to Secondary and post-Secondary school students in Malaysia, developed a curriculum and a program syllabus, and led field trips and English camps. I also became fluent in the Malay language, and helped facilitate village home-stays for foreigners.

For several years I volunteered as an ESL tutor for refugees living in the US from Somalia, Congo, and elsewhere. Since April 2013 I have served as a tutor with Wyzant, covering a range of subjects and specializing in the areas of ESL and proofreading/editing. Since 2012 I have served as a freelance editor, revising doctoral dissertations, Masters Theses, books, websites, articles, academic papers, and more.

I enjoy writing, sports, traveling, and international food and culture. I currently live with my wife and daughter in South Carolina. My wife and I are originally from Canton, Ohio." less...
