I am an academic licensed teacher from America. I teach Algebra 2 and Language Arts at a middle and high school in Jiujiang, Jiang Xi, China. I am now ready to begin my second year at the same school. I also teach TOFEL and oral English to students ranging from 3 to adults. I was formally an award winning journalist, before I became a teacher. Teaching is my passion and writing is my love. I am a published author and am currently working on a science fiction novel. I enjoy meeting people, experiencing different cultures, and learning about our world. I think my purpose is to teach students to think critically, about academics and about their future. Thank you for reading this short introduction about me.
