Bob MacLeod

自1997年起就在台灣教英語的我,來自加拿大東岸新伯倫瑞克省,擁有教育學士學位,教書可說是家族傳統。閒暇時我喜歡騎著自行車在台北郊外地區逛逛、 打棒球、曲棍球、或是到處旅行。看著學生由開始學ABC進步到能夠自己寫出一篇作文,是我在教學中得到的最大樂趣。

I have been teaching English in Taiwan since 1997. I’m from Dalhousie, New Brunswick, which is a small town in eastern Canada. I come from a family of educators. My father is a retired principal and my sister is a teacher in Canada. I have a Bachelor of Education from the University of New Brunswick. In my free time, I enjoy cycling in the hills surrounding Taipei, playing hockey, baseball and traveling. My greatest enjoyment comes from watching my students’ progress from learning the alphabet to being able to write a composition on their own.

Daniel Ray

大家好,我是Daniel,來自美國北卡羅來納州的一個美麗小鎮,2005年在坎貝爾大學拿到歷史學位後,因為對於體驗新文化與交流、以及學習新語言的渴望,我決定在2006年來到台灣,並藉由英語教學來實現這份渴望。而這是我一生中做得最棒的決定!在ACES當老師讓我感到驕傲,我和一群非常優秀的老師一起工作,且不遺餘力地幫助我成為一位更好的老師,我相信我的教學技巧會因此在ACES達到最高的境界。想上我的課嗎?趕快來登記吧!

Hi everyone. My name’s Daniel Ray. I was born and raised in the beautiful small town of Cornelius, North Carolina, USA. I earned my B.A. in History from Campbell University in 2005 and was eager to experience a new culture, learn a new language and share my own culture with others, so in 2006 I decided to come to Taiwan to fulfill these desires through teaching English. It was the greatest decision of my life. Being an ACES teacher makes me proud. I am surrounded by a group of amazing teachers who have a lot to offer and have helped me become the teacher I strive to be. I know that my teaching abilities will be pushed to the highest here at ACES. I look forward to teaching you!

Eric Baumeister

我自1992年就開始在台北從事英語教學工作,畢業於加拿大蒙特婁的康克迪亞大學的管理學系。我非常開心能加入ACES嚴謹的教學團隊。因為在這裡,每位老師都能給予孩子們一個高品質的英語學習環境。我相信以文法為主的教學系統是對於孩子們來說最有效的。在閒暇時間裡,我喜歡閱讀、旅行,以及照顧我的寵物們。

Eric has been living and teaching English to children in Taipei since 1992.  He graduated in Administration from  Concordia University in Montreal.  Glad to be a member of the hard-working staff at ACES, who maintain a quality learning environment for the kids to learn well, he believes that a grammar-based program is an effective way for children to study English.  In his free time, he enjoys reading, traveling and taking care of five pets.

Trey Gregory

嗨,我是Trey老師。我出生於美國印第安那州的特雷霍特市。在2006年我自密蘇里大學的國際關係研究系畢業。2009後,我搬來台灣並開始教授英文。在這段期間裡,我教過各個不同程度的學生;從幼稚園幼兒發音一直到成人商業英文等。我很開心能夠看著我的學生,由無法完整說出字句,成長提升至能完整併流暢地進行會話。ACES是個非常專業的團隊,我很欣喜能夠成為其中的一員。

Hi, my name is Trey Gregory.  I was born and raised in Terre Haute, Indiana, USA. In 2006, I graduated from the University of Missouri with a B.A. in International Relations. I’ve been living in Taiwan and teaching English here since December 2009. During my time here I’ve taught a wide variety of students; from phonics to kindergartners to business conversation to adults.  It’s a great feeling watching a student, who can barely speak anything in the beginning, progress to the point where they can have a full conversation in English with no difficulties. I’m very excited to be a part of this talented group of teachers here at ACES.

Jonathan Hum

你好,我是Jonathan。我的家人來自廣東,他們在1920年左右移民到美國。我出生於華盛頓特區,一直住在幸福的近郊住宅區。我在華盛頓州塔科馬的普吉特海灣大學就讀,主修是生物學,輔修政治哲學。從2014年起我一直住在台灣,原本我是在台灣的中部地區教高中生英文及生物。在教導學生不同的學科時,我逐漸學習到一種以學習者為中心的教學方式,這種方式的核心,就是強調讓學生自己主動參與及投入學習以推向成功。在這方面我努力保持耐心並盡我所能,也期望學生們能做到一樣的。

我非常喜歡在台灣中部地區的時光,但覺得需要對台灣其他地方做更多的探索。2019年我搬到台北,從那時起我為學生補習程度比較難的科學學科(生物及化學)。

休閒之餘,我喜歡透過野外露營、騎摩托車穿越山脈的方式來探索台灣地區。最近更從培養新聞和敘事寫作的嗜好中找到樂趣。

Hello! My name is Jonathan Hum. My family was initially from the Guangdong Province of China, but immigrated to the United States in the 1920’s. I was born in Washington D.C, and lived there my entire life in a happy suburb. I attended the University of Puget Sound in Tacoma, WA, where I pursued major in Biology and a minor in Political Philosophy, I have been living in Taiwan since 2014, where I originally taught English and Biology to high school students in Central Taiwan. As I have taught very different academic subjects, I have come to adopt a student centered approach towards learning. At its core, this approach prioritizes student involvement and dedication to drive success. I strive to be patient, do my best and expect the same from everyone else.
I greatly enjoyed my time in Central Taiwan but felt a need to explore more of the island. I moved to Taipei in 2019, where I’ve since spent my time tutoring students in the hard Sciences (Biology &Chemistry).
I spend my free time exploring the area; either by camping, or driving through the mountains on my motorcycle. I’ve recently discovered a joy in Journalism and narrative writing, which I am currently practicing as a hobby.

Kevin Chiang

你好!我是Kevin,從2021年起在台灣從事教育工作。 我畢業於墨爾本莫納什大學並取得了理學學士學位,我希望從事兒童教育工作,為下一代帶來正面影響。  當我來到 ACES時,我感受到這個地方的每位老師都充滿熱情及具影響力,教學真誠並給予學生明確的學習方向,最重要是每位教師都很負責任。我相信有家長的支持、學生的努力與老師認真的指導下,您的孩子一定會成功。 期待與您的孩子在ACES的課堂上相見。

Hi there! I’m Kevin and I’ve been teaching in Taiwan since 2021. I finished my Bachelor’s of Science at Monash University in Melbourne. I wanted to work in early education to make a positive impact on the next generation. When I found ACES, it felt like a place where the teachers were passionate and effective. The progression path is clear, the service is honest, and most importantly, everybody is responsible.  I believe with the support of the family, the hard work of the student, and a strong direction from myself, your child will succeed. I look forward to teaching your children at ACES.

我是阿福Alf(Alfred的縮寫),我來自澳大利亞,在阿德萊德和雪梨長大。我擁有七年的英文教學經驗,在上海及台北都曾從事教育工作。我2014年曾在北京清華大學學習中文,而現在我很榮幸將台北稱之為家。對於臺灣人的善良和慷慨以及台灣令人驚豔的自然風光,都讓我留下了深刻的印象。我相信教育可以打開改變生活的機會大門。我渴望幫助學生成為終身主動學習的人,創造通往光明未來的道路。在追求知識的過程中,我們也同時擴展了屬於自己的無限潛力。

I’m Alf (short for Alfred). I’m from Australia, where I grew up in both Adelaide and Sydney. I have seven years teaching experience having worked in education in both Shanghai and Taipei. I started my own Chinese language learning at Qinghua University in Beijing in 2014. Now it’s my pleasure to call Taipei home. I appreciate the kindness and generosity of the Taiwanese people, as well as the amazing nature around the island. I believe that education opens doorways to opportunities that can transform lives. I aspire to help students become life long learners, creating a path to a bright future. In the pursuit of knowledge, we expand our own possibilities.
