// ABOUT ME

Hi, I’m Megan! I’ve been an ESL/EFL teacher in China for over 10 years. I share the tips and tricks, information and inspiration that I wish I had when I first started out teaching.

I’m currently teaching at a university, while also getting my PhD in Curriculum Design. So if you’re looking for a fellow teacher who is balancing work, study, travel, and daily life, let’s be friends!

Let me know what other videos you’d like to see from me—whether that be days in my life as a teacher, living abroad in China, travel videos, or specific advice on a topic!
