Co-founder of Speak Shop, offering fair trade language lessons via webcam with skilled tutors in developing countries.
Tutors don't work for us, they work for their clients. With our support, they become micro business owners, setting their own rate and hours.
People all over the world and of all ages take one-on-one lessons while gaining cross-cultural interaction and perspective.
We are working to eliminate barriers that impoverish even the hardest working people simply because of where they live while making connections among cultures and increasing access to foreign language learning.
Our vision is a world where people are fairly rewarded for their skill and effort and where people of diverse backgrounds learn to communicate and find common ground.
