Bio
Trent S. Lawrence, Jr., MPA
I had the incredible pleasure of working with Mikael for one year at the Center for Teaching and Learning in China (CTLC). I was particularly impressed by Mikael's ability to lead engaging and culturally immersive classes while undergoing a strenuous schedule when receiving our Teaching Certifications at Peking University in Beijing. His calm yet tenacious spirit is what stood out the most as he taught his students. These qualities were further demonstrated while teaching primary students together in the Bao'an district of Shenzhen. As a fantastic team leader or a champion of academic aptitude, Mikael earns my highest degree of recommendation.
