David Winet got started teaching English when he was 15 in Switzerland and a neighbor hired him to teach her elementary school kid. That was a complete disaster! However, since then he has learned a few tricks and has taught ESL in France and California for many years. He got interested in email back in the early 90s and realized it might be a good way to teach English, so starting with a former student from Paderborn Germany he began teaching "English by Email" in 1993, perhaps the first internet-based ESL class ever
taught. When graphical browsers came into being, Dave created StudyCom English for Internet, a free online school and research project where real teachers could connect with real students to study and use English.
