Hello!! My name is Scott Neumann and I'm currently living in Bangkok, Thailand! I'm from Washington, D.C., USA and I have been teaching English to students from around the world for almost 30 years! I’ve taught students of all ages one-to-one, in small group, and in traditional classroom settings in the U.S., Spain, South Korea, Japan, and Thailand. I began teaching English as foreign/second language when I was an exchange student at the Spanish University of Valencia in the early 1990's. I later taught English in the New York City public schools at the elementary and secondary levels. After finishing an MA in Photography and Mass Media Studies, I decided to live abroad and teach English in South Korea. For nearly twenty years I taught English at the primary, secondary, and tertiary(university)levels, as well as senior citizens, privately and in schools and universities. During this time, I was also able to teach and live in Fukuoka and Okinawa Japan, as well as in Bangkok and Chiang Mai, Thailand. All of these living/learning/teaching experiences have impressed upon me the importance of maintaining a dynamic yet comfortable learning environment. I firmly believe that as long as students are feeling relaxed, comfortable, and enjoying themselves, there will be no limit to what they can learn. Learning a language is so much more than simply learning another skill. It is a process of becoming a slightly different version of yourself, as you explore new worlds unlocked through your growing capacity to connect with people and cultures through use of another language. The world is vast and wondrous. Let me help you improve, not only your grasp of English, but also your capacity to express yourself, develop new ideas, understand other people, cultures, and points of view that may be very different from your own. Let's get after it together--the world's waiting to hear what you have to say!
