Hello from Honolulu! 

I’m originally from St. Louis, Missouri, but have lived in New York, northern California, and Taipei, Taiwan. During these travels, I earned my BA in Education as well as my TESOL certification. 

Having experienced learning another language as an adult(Mandarin Chinese), as well as living outside of my home country (Taiwan) has helped me understand the difficult challenges that students here face.

The environment at IIE Waikiki makes learning English and being in another country easier. Our teachers are all easy to talk to, and we all love to laugh! The beautiful, sunny days and cool, pleasant nights make life outside of school really comfortable, too.

Come to IIE to experience a great learning experience in a beautiful place!
