Can you describe E2’s working environment in 3 words?

It is fun.

What is the most helpful thing you’ve learned to improve your teaching at E2?

Bonus Question: If you had to be stuck on a desert island with 1 member of E2 staff (teaching or operations team) who would it be? Why?

Either chi Thao (admin) or chi Lan (Math team), because they always have snacks.
