Carrie,
My name is Nigel Liaw and I’m a senior at University of Dayton. I’m starting to explore various potential options to pursue after graduation. I stumbled across your blog and it made me excited to read about your adventures and experiences. I’m sure you’re quite a busy individual but I would love to have some of my questions answered about teaching English in China and Taiwan. My email address is nigel.liaw@gmail.com. Any help or insight would be greatly appreciated!
Sincerely,
Nigel
Dear Nigel,
I run a recruiting company called Reach To Teach Recruiting. I taught in China for three years before moving to Taiwan with my husband through Reach To Teach. I would be happy to answer any questions you might have. Please write to me at carrie@reachtoteachrecruiting.com.
