Hey everyone! My name's Thorolf van Walsum, but most people just call me Thor. I'm a Canadian-American citizen of the world with a passion for biology, history and philosophy. At EasySpeak, I'm happy to teach ICT, SOV and an after-school nature-integrative program called Kestrel Scouts. These kids are a great bunch! It is my goal to help your kids relate to and integrate with what they learn at school to ensure their fullest creative, intellectual and ethical self-development. As an academic intellectual, I love how teaching middle-schoolers keeps my feet on the ground and my focus on the questions that matter. My hobbies include reading, foraging, woodcarving/woodburning, dancing (or whatever you call it). If you see me around, feel free to introduce yourself (Učím se češtinu... pomalu :))
