David Merkley, BS
David’s journey into language education is marked by a deep-rooted passion cultivated from an early age. Following high school, he ventured to Brazil for a transformative two-year missionary experience, immersing himself in the culture and occasionally teaching English. Returning to the United States, David pursued higher education in Colorado, earning a bachelor’s degree in business. This academic foundation laid the groundwork for a successful career spanning two decades in corporate management and entrepreneurship.
Driven by a desire to empower others and fueled by his love for languages, David eventually transitioned into English language education. This career shift allowed him to merge his professional expertise with his commitment to linguistic empowerment. Today, David’s journey stands as a testament to his unwavering dedication and versatility, inspiring others in the realm of language education.

President
Mikle Merkley
Mikle enjoys the study and use of language, and the possibility to communicate despite language differences. He believes language is essential to an individual’s understanding of their world and their ability to build relationships.
Mikle’s passion for language began when he was young, as he grew up around individuals who spoke multiple languages. He first studied language (Spanish) formally throughout his four years in high school. Later, he studied Italian in a high-intensity, immersive program for six weeks before moving to Italy, where he lived for two years as a religious missionary. During that time he volunteered teaching English on a weekly basis, as well as tutoring students in an after-school program for a period.

Heidi has loved languages since junior high when she both started learning French and realized how much she loved reading and writing in English. Towards the end of her time as an undergraduate student, she lived in France for a year and a half as a missionary. Since then, her career has taken different directions, including working as a copyright expert teaching (and learning from) many multinational teachers in the U.S. Foreign Service Institute. More recently, she has been teaching English and French since 2010. She has a BA in English, an MFA in Children’s Literature (Creative Writing), and an MA in French, with an emphasis in linguistics and teaching. Her passions related to English teaching include helping her students to improve in critical thinking, to develop their creativity, to understand the world around them, and to improve their abilities with English mechanics.
