Gabrielle Wallace (SED’10) of New York, N.Y., is an English teacher. She writes, “I started making YouTube tutorials for my English language learners and the channel has become a hit, with over 350,000 subscribers and growing. I started the channel as an experiment to help my existing students. Now, these free lessons are reaching learners all over the world, from Azerbaijan to Zimbabwe. The goal is to educate and inspire people to learn English and become better communicators.” Gabrielle has since been able to quit her full-time teaching job and work on her YouTube channel from home, “literally recording videos from my room,” she adds. “The channel has made it possible for me to travel the world, even meeting up with my channel followers in cities like Tokyo and Ho Chi Minh City. So, it’s been quite an interesting adventure.”
