By tradition, let's share a short interview:


- What is your name? Where are you from?

My name is Daniel Lundin, and I am from the smallest state in America, Rhode Island. I have lived in and around Moscow for almost eight years.

- What subjects do you teach your children?

 I teach English to Years 7 and Years 8. Outside of strictly curriculum plans, I find it incredibly important to instill a sense of wonder and creativity in my students. Students will often engage in writing projects, supplemental art, and reading texts.

- Why do you love your job? 

My teaching career came about because somebody took a chance on me. I enjoy giving every student that experience of taking a wild chance and seeing what comes of it.

 I have: 

  • Taught ages 3-70
  • Headed an EAL program
  • Taught a top executive of a major Russian media company.
  • Mentored eight new teachers through their first year of teaching, two groups of four.
  • Used games and participatory methods to engage students and ensure they are enjoying themselves.

I became a teacher more or less by accident and realized I quite enjoyed it.

 

- Tell us something that might suprise us!

 I read science fiction and fantasy, I collect and paint miniature armies, and I greatly enjoy practicing culinary arts.
