Hi my name is Ian. I've been a professional online ESL/EFL and Spanish teacher since 2009. One of my biggest passions is teaching and learning languages. I was born and raised in Connecticut in the USA. However, I lived in Costa Rica for roughly 8 years so I'm completely proficient in Spanish as well. Currently I'm perfecting my Brazilian Portuguese and started studying Farsi as a personal challenge. I really enjoy helping students achieve their goals with whichever language they're interested in learning. I strongly believe that learning a language should be a fun process so I do my best to create courses that make the learning process enjoyable.
