Staci Johnson
Ever since I can remember, I’ve been fascinated with other cultures and languages. I love to travel and every place I go, the first thing I want to do is meet the people, learn their language, and understand their culture. Becoming an ESL teacher was a perfect way to turn what I love to do into my profession. There’s nothing more incredible than the exchange of teaching and learning from one another that goes on in an ESL classroom. And there’s nothing more rewarding than helping a student succeed.
