ERICK CARLSON
My name is Erick
Carlson. My nickname is Erick. I was born on July 28th, 1986, in Minnesota,
America. I have lived in Texas, Ohio, and California. I graduated from Bowling
Green State University in Ohio. I studied English and creative writing. Now I'm
in Phuket. I have worked at PKW for three years. I'm an English teacher for M1
and M4 and also a reading and writing teacher. My favorite food is the burrito,
which is from Mexico. My favorite Thai food is khao mok gai. In my free time, I
like to listen to music, play video games, watch TV, and read books. PKW is
great because the students are so friendly and amazing.
ERICA HUNTER
Hello I am Erica
Hunter from England which is part of the United Kingdom (UK). My birthday is
12th March and I am 25 years old. I graduated with a BA in Theatre Arts from
the University of Derby.
I have been working at PKW since March 2013
and I teach Listening and Speaking to M1, Communication Studies to M2, Core
English to MEP1, Drama to M5 and Tourism to MEP4. Fun, Forward thinking and
Friendly are three words that spring to mind when I think of PKW's students and
teachers.
I really enjoy living in Phuket and Thailand.
I especially like the beautiful beaches and local food. My favourite place to
visit is Nai Harn beach as it is beautiful and I can also swim in the sea which
is my favourite hobby.
MAHALA PROCH
My name is
Mahala Proch or you can call me Teacher May! I'm from the mountainous state of
Colorado in America. I teach Listening and Speaking to M3 and M4 as well as
dance. I've been at PKW since the beginning of the year in May. My favorite
food is sushi! My hobbies include dancing, traveling, writing and running! I
graduated from the University of Colorado with a B.S. in Journalism and Writing
and a B.A. in Spanish Literature. My favorite places to hang out in Phuket are
Khao Rang hill and the King's Park! I also frequent the Indie Market on Thursdays
and Fridays. My favorite quote is: "There are three rules in life: Be
kind, be kind and be kind." I would describe PKW as: fun, educational and
phenomenal!!
MACIEJ OLEFIROWICZ
My name is Maciej but
you can call me Matthew. My birthday is on 30th of April, I'm from Poland and I
hope you know where it is, if not then I hope you check. I studied Economics in
Poland. I have been teaching Listening and Speaking to M3 and M6 since the
beginning of this school year. I love Thai food, especially Masaman, fried rice
with basil leaves and of course yellow Mango with sticky rice and coconut milk
for a dessert. When I am not at school, you can find me on the beach or more
precisely in the water, where I surf or wakeboard. My favorite quotes:
"World is like a book and if you don't travel you read only one
page", "Strangers are friends you haven't met yet", favorite
places in Phuket: Monkey hill, Nai Yang and Kata beach. PKW in 3 worlds: "best
job ever" but seriously: "friendly, fantastic, future"
KATHRYN PARKIN
My name is Kathryn Parkin,
my nickname is Kate. I was born in England on the 24th of May and when
I was eight I moved to South Africa. In
2011, I graduated from the University of Cape Town, in Organisational
Psychology. I have been working at PKW since March 2013 and I teach Listening
and Speaking to M2 and Communication to both M4 and M5. My favourite food is
pizza, por pia, and “meat on a stick” (skewers)! I love to go to the Indy
Market, and wonder around Old Town. On the weekend, if the weather is nice, you
can find me soaking up the sun on one of Phuket’s gorgeous beaches. Three words
to describe PKW would be “fun”, “exciting” and “amazing”.

RYAN
TURNER
Why Hello
everybody. My name is Ryan Turner and I am from Maryland, eastern United
States. My birthday is October 1988. I teach English at PKW and I've been here
for one year now. I mostly have M5 Listening and Speaking, but I also teach
communication to the lower levels. My favorite food is without a doubt mashed
potatoes. I enjoy playing games/sports, traveling, and talking with good
friends. Baseball is my favorite sport, but Thailand does not have baseball so
I play football whilst here. I graduated from West Virginia University in May

now”.
