Welcome! #

My name’s Tom and I’m a data analyst from Atlanta. I graduated from Georgia State University in 2010 with a Bachelor’s degree in Applied Linguistics and a TEFL certificate. Since then, I’ve traveled the world working and developing my skills as a teacher. I’ve taught students from all ages and backgrounds in both classrooms and private lessons. I’m just as comfortable teaching a grammar lesson as I am leading classroom activities, but my students and I especially excel with guided readings.

I’m not just a language teacher; I’m also a language learner. I’ve formally studied French and Arabic, and since graduating from university, I’ve become proficient in Spanish, Turkish, and Latin. My decade of experience on both sides of the language-learning experience has given me a good idea for what works and what doesn’t.

I’m now transitioning into a career in data analytics. There’s so much to discover and learn, so I’m excited to see where this journey takes me. Check out my completed and ongoing data analytics projects here.

I have many other interests, as well: jazz, history, literature, board games, current events, weightlifting, etc, etc. I intend to write about all those subjects and more in my blog.
