Hello everyone, my name is Michael Barnhardt.  I was born and raised in Concord, NC and graduated from University of North Carolina at Charlotte, go Niners!  I also attended Nagoya University of Foreign Studies in Nisshin, Japan.  As an avid language learner myself, I am very passionate about sharing my language and helping others learn English.  It is an honor to be here at South Lexington giving our ELL students the boost they need to become fantastic English speakers, readers, and writers.
