I am Gordon Martin, American teacher from Chicago, Illinois. I have been teaching for nearly 12 years. I hold a B.A. in Political Science, and an M.A. degree in International Relations. I am currently working on a PhD in International Political Economy. I'm also a certified BEC instructor. I studied abroad in both Japan and Sweden as a college student. Now as a English teacher I always try my best to keep my classrooms interesting while also providing an atmosphere for those who want to push their limits. I am always accessible to all my students when they have questions or need help, in and outside of the classroom. I make a sincere effort for my students in that I want them to feel better about their English every time they leave my classroom. A simple philosophy which has guided me over a decade.
