I am often described as a food lover and while that is a fitting description, my passion lies in realizing my hope of a compassionate world.
My wife Hanesa is my purpose and guide in whatever I do and I am grateful for her unwavering support as I continue to help make the world a better place in every way that I can.
My friends say I am a "foodie" and they are right. You can find me at Geylang markets, hunting for the best biriyani or my mum's kitchen in Perth.
If you have any questions for me, feel free to email me or keep your eye out on the Heartpower blog. I am responsiblle for Heartpower TESOL and would love to meet you.

I have been working for the past twenty years and a considerable part of this was spent in the area of project management, marketing and event organization.
I manage programs from conceptualization to planning and the execution of events, seminars and overseas assignments.
My expertise lies in bridging networks of parties to enable them to leverage on each others' proficiencies, capabilities, talent and resources to the mutual benefit of all parties. My work has often had an international perspective and I have journeyed to almost every continent on Earth. These experiences has indeed made my life richer in many aspects.
My hallmark is meeting people, learning about new cultures and networking.

 Alex Kim.
An nyung ha se yo! My name is Alex Kim. \r\nI’ve worked at various MNCs doing accounting for 7 years in Singapore, and realised my heart was pursuing something else that is much more meaningful to my life.\r\nI wanted to follow my soul, so I quit my job and studied TESOL at Heartpower. Now I think that teaching is the most meaningful thing I can do. I realised that I became much more passionate in preparing materials for teaching and in teaching students in the real classroom. I feel so excited when the students react as I planned.\r\nI am happy to discuss how to approach the learners, and to exchange idea with other teachers, such as Yasuko, who is also very passionate in her teaching and my TESOL teacher, Nick, who is always my best advisor. \r\nI am excited to meet people from different backgrounds who have at least one common interest – who want to learn the Korean language and culture! |

|  Hajimemashite, Michelle desu. I\'m currently a reporter at the Asahi Shimbun and also gives business lectures in some private universities on some days.
I worked and studied in Japan for 5 years and obtained my degree and teaching Japanese certificates there. Later, I went to Sydney, Australia for my masters in Economics and Commerce. In both Japan and Australia, I taught Japanese to non-Japanese and gave them insightful tips on carving a career in Japan or in Japanese companies.\r\n\r\nI also do translation work for some MNCs, having worked previously with RWS Sentosa when in the construction of Universal Studio Singapore.I love hockey and Yosakoi Soran. Do chat me up if you like them too! |

|  Nick Swallow. I graduated from university in the UK without a clue on what I wanted to do next with my life. A casual suggestion one day from a friend to try teaching English intrigued me as a way to see a bit of the world while meeting people from different backgrounds and learning about different cultures. I trained as a teacher and hopped on a plane to Singapore and I haven’t looked back since. What was originally a plan to spend a few months teaching and travelling has turned into a lifelong vocation and, yes, 13 years later I am still here! (Scroll for my video). |
|  Yasuko.
Konnichiwa! My name is Yasuko. This year is my first year in Singapore and I am enjoying living in this wonderful multi-cultural country. I have teaching experiences in Japan and Australia and am very interested in cultural exchanges. Now I am studying Singapore\'s history. |

|  I have been in education for more than 10 years. I first started out as an English teacher in 1999 at The Learning Lab where I later became a Curriculum Manager at this established enrichment centre. After that, I was inspired to explore other areas of teaching English and so in 2004, I took a month off to obtain my certificate in Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL) in Prague, Czech Republic. |
|
|  I began teaching English as a Second Language in 2005 to a small group of university students who had come to America to earn their degree. I’ve been teaching English since then in the USA, Hong Kong and Singapore. In addition to a Bachelor of Arts in English and Spanish, I hold a Master of Arts in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages from the University of Central Florida. I firmly believe that effective teaching comes from the overflow of a full life. To fill my life, I enjoy good books, good friends, and good food. |
|  Hello. I have been teaching English for nine years, and I have to say it has been hard but rewarding work. But at the beginning, I did not want to go into teaching at all. Even though I graduated from a pedagogical faculty, I decided to stay away from the classroom and went to work as a legal translator instead. However, I slowly realized I actually preferred to do a job with a lot of contact with people. So I decided to go back to my vocation, and I started to teach ESL. |
