About Me

The new school year is ramping up while Summer (in the Northern Hemisphere) is winding down! Let's make the most of what remains of 2018 by working together towards the goal of improving your English. :)

Here's a little bit about me:

My name is Donald and I live in Chicago: the beautiful City by the Lake. I have a Master's Degree in English and have taught English Language and Literature for nearly ten years to both adults and teenagers. English is a beautiful, complex, and -- at times -- maddening language. But we love it and want to keep improving in it, right? :)

Take a look at the introductory video here (switch on the English-language subtitles by clicking the CC button in the lower right corner!) and thank you for considering me as a partner in your English-language journey!
