About Me

Hello! My name is Teacher Russell and I am from Alberta, Canada. I've been teaching English online with VIPKid and Palfish since 2019. So far, I've taught over 5000 classes to more than 700 students.

I have a Bachelor's degree from the University of British Columbia in Vancouver. I've also completed a 120-hour TEFL certification for teaching ESL.

My goal is to make learning English fun and interesting. I like to learn about my students and listen to them tell me about their families and their interests. I also like to ask questions that encourage students to speak in more detail. I am a patient and friendly teacher. Contact me today to book a free trial class! 😃
