Richard
Hi there. I have been teaching adults and university students for five years. I have worked and travelled widely, including as a production journalist at the BBC in the UK, an architect at Hyundai in South Korea, and a Science Communicator at a National Japanese University. I hail from Northern Ireland. I have a masters degree in journalism from Ulster University, and a masters degree in architecture from Liverpool JMU. I am currently completing a PhD in environmental education at National Taiwan Normal University. I am interested in news, culture, and current affairs, urban and rural design and sustainability, and the world at large. I recently got married, and have become a father. I am based in Taichung. I look forward to seeing and hearing you in class!

I personally really enjoy Richard's teaching style. He is well-prepared for each session and shares a lot of ideas while encouraging students to share their thoughts as well. For those who have opinions on current affairs and want to improve their English skills, I highly recommend this course.
