2. Welcome! As the coordinator and instructor of our new Online Writing Skills for the CPA course, I would like to welcome you to our online classroom and briefly introduce myself. Upon completing my degree in business management, I spent four audit seasons as a technology auditor in the New York City Ernst and Young office specializing in financial service clients. Since then, I have worked in the field of TESOL educating adults both internationally and domestically in academic and business English, as well as training Korean educators on effective classroom methodology. These experiences have provided me with a unique set of skills necessary to build a course that will not only meet your needs for the CPA exam, but also develop the long-term writing skills necessary to work in the global accounting industry. I am excited to have the opportunity to combine my business background with my passion for teaching through this course and look forward to working with you!
