Learn and Teach English with Maestro Sersea Newsletter #163: February 3rd, 2025

Welcome to the Learn and Teach English with Maestro Sersea Newsletter # 163,

Hello Everyone,

I’m Ioan Elvis Sersea, M.A., M.A.T., aka Maestro Sersea, an American English teacher based in Southern California, United States of America. I’ve been  educating English learners in California since 1989 and I currently teach English as a Second Language for three different community colleges in Southern California. I was born and raised in Romania, and English became my 3rd language when I moved to the United States of America more than 41 years ago. Thanks to my helpful English as a Second Language teachers who taught and motivated me to succeed, I was inspired to become an American English Teacher and help English learners increase American English fluency.
