The Jungle Teacher: Another New Member!

Hey there, I'm Jarod Yong.
I create unique learning opportunites that challenge students & empower teachers.

I believe that a teacher can make miracles happen in the worst circumstances & that every student deserves a chance to shine & impact his/her community.

I'm known as 'The Jungle Teacher' because I taught the English language in the jungles of Sarawak & blew people's minds.

Currently, I'm an ESL teacher in New York. I hold an MA TESOL from Columbia University and a B.Ed TESOL from Victoria University of Wellington. I'm also a Fulbright scholar.

I'm always looking to learn & develop into a real 'modal insan'.
I'm hoping to mentor world-changing students & live a world-changing life myself in search of my ikigai.
