Steve Shih

Hi！我是Steve老師，我在美國的維吉尼亞州長大，在當地由小學讀到高中畢業，之後全家人就遷移至加拿大居住，並在安大略省就讀大學。畢業後沒多久後我就來到台灣教英語，曾經在其它幼兒學校教書，至今已經在台居住十幾年且很喜歡這裡的生活，我已婚並有一位漂亮的寶貝女兒，我在2002年時加入了ACES的陣營。

Hello. This is Steve. I would like to take this opportunity to introduce myself. I have been living in Taiwan for more than ten years and I started working here at ACES in 2002. I have been teaching English since I got here. Before starting work at ACES, I had worked at another English school and at a kindergarten teaching young children. I’m married with one child. I grew up in Virginia in the United States. I also went to elementary school, middle school, and high school in Virginia. After high school, my family moved to Canada, and I went to university in Ontario. Soon after graduating from university, I came to Taiwan and have enjoyed living here since then.

Devlin Cotter

大家好我是Devlin老師。我來自美國，在紐約出生以及完成我的學業。我畢業於紐約州立大學。語言學習一向是我的愛好，我學習過西班牙文、法文、泰文、和現在在學習的中文。除了學習語文之外，我也喜歡演奏樂器及花時間陪伴我的家人。
畢業之後，我就一直從事教學工作。我曾任職於紐約公立學校、後來也在泰國教授英文。結束了泰國的工作，我又到了東京電機大學繼續教書。在2006年，我搬到了台灣，也在去年迎接我小女兒的到來。現在，我很享受和家人在台灣的生活！

Hello! My name’s Devlin. I was born and raised in New York. I graduated from The State University of New York in 2003 with a Bachelor of Science. I’ve always been fascinated with languages and have studied Spanish, French, Thai and now Chinese. In addition to studying languages, I love to play music and spend time with my family.　I have been a teacher since graduating college. I worked in the New York public school system before moving to Thailand to teach English there. After Thailand, I taught at Tokyo Denki University in Japan. In 2006, I moved to Taiwan and have been here since. I recently welcomed a new daughter and my little family continues to love our lives here in Taiwan.

Shay Delagarza

哈囉，我是Shay老師！我在芝加哥長大，大學時，就讀位在市中心的芝加哥藝術學院，並取得建築系學士學位。畢業後一年，我決定在攻讀碩士前花一年的時間旅遊。經過一些研究及輾轉得知的資訊，到台灣教英文成為我的第一選擇。2012年，我收拾行囊，搬到美麗的台灣，並展開為期一年的教學生活。我發現，我對於學習中文及英語教學工作有著莫大的熱情。從此，台灣對我來說不再只是個短暫停留的國家，它成為我的家。能夠帶領著聰明、開心、專注及用心的孩子們一同學習讓我感到非常快樂，我很期待接下來與他們共度的時光，我們上課見！

Hi! I’m Shay. I grew up in the Chicagoland area and had the pleasure of living in the magnificent city of Chicago during my college years and for a short time after. There, I attended School of the Art Institute of Chicago where I studied architecture. A year after obtaining my bachelor’s degree, I decided I wanted to travel before going back to school to get my master’s degree.I stumbled upon the option of teaching English in Taiwan. In 2012, with only a year commitment in mind, I packed my bags and traveled to this beautiful island. After starting to learn Chinese and developing a new passion for teaching, that one year plan was extended to a new place to call home for now. It’s been a pleasure to be surrounded by these bright, joyful, dedicated and hardworking children and I’m excited to continue this journey. I look forward to seeing you in the classroom!

Chris Gorski

大家好，我是Chris老師。我在美國紐約的布法羅長大。我從2005年開始就當老師了。

我於2012年在紐約州立大學水牛城分校完成了我的教育碩士學位，在那裡我獲得了Arthur A. Schomburg獎學金。畢業後，我教初高中社會學科。我非常想念我暑假時期在尼亞加拉大瀑布當國際導遊的日子。

在台灣，我是常春藤的“生活英語雜誌”和“解析英語雜誌”的主持人。在練習聆聽和增加字彙量的同時，收聽大量有趣的事實和瑣事！

在2008年我與我可愛的妻子結婚了。我們沒有孩子，但我們有十隻領養的流浪貓，我們非常愛牠們！我們在台灣的動物救援組織非常活躍。快來跟我分享你們貓咪的照片吧！

我一直很喜歡教學。我認為自己很幸運能夠完成童年的夢想。希望你喜歡和我們一起學習，課堂上見。

Hey everybody, my name’s Chris Gorski. I grew up in Buffalo, New York in the United States. I have been a teacher since 2005.

I completed my Master’s of Education from the State University of New York at Buffalo in 2012 where I was recipient of the Arthur A. Schomburg Fellowship. After graduating, I taught middle school and high school social studies. I spent my summers as an international tour guide in Niagara Falls which I miss very much.

In Taiwan, I am the host of Ivy League’s Enjoy English magazine and Analytical English magazine. Tune in to hear lots of fun facts and trivia while practicing your listening and growing your vocabulary!

In 2008, I married my lovely wife. We don’t have any human babies, but we do have 10 adopted stray cats whom we love so much! We’re very active with animal rescue groups in Taiwan. Come show me pictures of your cats!

I have always loved teaching. I consider myself blessed to follow through with my childhood dreams. I hope you love learning with us just as much. See you soon.
