    About Davi R.

    Hello! I'm a resident of Pittsburgh, PA and hold a PhD in Applied Linguistics from Penn State University, a master's degree in Educational Technology, and a bachelor's degree in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL) from the University of Northern Iowa. I've been teaching English as a Second or Foreign Language (ESL/EFL) since 1997 in various contexts (language schools, public schools, universities, literacy councils, and private tutoring) and for various age levels (children, adults, and seniors). If you have any questions, feel free to ask!
