Experience
I'm Joel, and I'm an educator in Chicago with a broad academic background. I've studied literature, linguistics, English, Russian language and literature, education, teaching, and journalism. I love teaching language arts and ESL. My first tutoring experience as a college junior when a professor asked me to assist some students in a Russian language course. I was instantly hooked on helping others learn new things. After I finished college, I spent a year in Moscow teaching English. Since coming back to Chicago, I've been teaching ESL to students from across the world. I'm currently pursuing a graduate degree in secondary education with an English emphasis, and I'm looking forward to becoming a high school English teacher. I find that I learn as much from my students as they learn from me, and I'm excited to help new students understand language and achieve success. When I'm not teaching or studying, I like to play the bass guitar. Music plays a big role in my life. I also enjoy cooking, playing video games, exploring the city of Chicago, reading fiction, and practicing creative writing.
