“There are certainly lots of times when I think the whole field needs to be razed and rebuilt. But at heart I’m not much of a revolutionary. Most of the time I just think, this could be done better. Recently I guess I’ve grown cocky enough to start thinking I could do this better. So I’m trying. That’s what Ginseng is: an attempt to do it better.”

“I’ve had the pleasure and privilege of leading teams of teachers, of hiring, training, and promoting some amazing ELT professionals. That first experience with the injustice of native-speakerism has stuck with me, and I’ve done what I can to make certain it never happens on my watch, in my programs. I can say with confidence that the three best hires I’ve ever made were of non-native speakers.”
