The Teachers

The PEACE Institute is a dedicated and professional group of Korean, American and British teachers. We act as one body, with a common set of values and goals but each with their own experiences and gifts. Each teacher plays his/her part to make the school run smoothly. Though our roles differ, we are dependent on one another. Though we have different backgrounds, we all have a common goal. New teachers are always welcome.

About me
I grew up in Minnesota and left to begin my first teaching job in California. I loved to travel and see the world and I spent a lot of my life traveling. One of my favorite jobs certainly has been teaching English in China. The Chinese people have become more important than traveling to me at the present time. I just enjoy spending a lot of time with my Chinese friends, eating their delicous food and sharing some Good News with them.
