Our Team

Teachers

Our teachers are a diverse group who come from all over the world including Chile, Peru, China, Colombia, France, Japan, India, Germany, Puerto Rico and Taiwan. Many have degrees in language and education and years of experience in teaching. Many are parents themselves and experience personally the joys — and challenges — of raising bilingual children. They all have a passion for sharing language and culture with children and their families.

  • Anthony Business & Strategy

    Anthony oversees the Sponge business and team. Anthony has over a decade of leadership experience with roles in financial services, technology, and entrepreneurship, where he led strategic initiatives, built high-performing teams, and drove operational excellence.

    His passion for language education runs deep. While teaching English to young learners in China with EF Education First, he discovered the transformative power of early language immersion. He later served on the board of the Wellesley Community Children’s Center in Boston, contributing to the strategic planning of one of the area’s leading early childhood programs.

    Having lived and worked in the United States, South Africa, China, and Malaysia, Anthony has seen firsthand how language bridges cultures and creates lifelong opportunities. That belief is what brought him to Sponge and this mission.
