Melissa K. Smith

Throughout her life, Melissa has been blessed with opportunities to learn teaching. The daughter of two teachers, she grew up observing their preparations and sitting in their classrooms.

Later, opportunities to learn continued with an undergraduate degree in education and the Master Teacher’s ancient words. She also has an MA in TEFL and a PhD in education.

She’s taught in China for 25 of the last 30 years and is currently an Associate Professor at a university in Northwest China. She’s trained teachers in a variety of places around the world and has also taught mentoring and MA TESOL courses for universities in the U.S. and Europe.

Recognizing that a different life in a different family or society would have closed most of these doors, she’s on a lifelong journey of figuring out how to turn opportunity into service for the Master Teacher.
