About Me
SUBJECTS
EDUCATIONAL PHILOSOPHY
I believe that all subjects are inter-connected, that is, you can’t learn one subject without using other subjects. (i.e. If you are learning about science, you still need a language in order to understand the science.
EDUCATIONAL BACKGROUND
I attended an academic high school in Calgary, Alberta, and was an honour’s student. I studied first in California at college there, and then returned to Ontario where I gained an Honour’s Bachelor’s Degree in English/Drama. I also obtained my Bachelor’s of Education Degree in order to become a certified teacher in British Columbia.
TEACHING EXPERIENCE
I have over 17 years of teaching experience, from kindergarten through college.
In Canada I taught writing, oral speaking and other communications courses at two post-secondary colleges. From 2001-2009 I taught ESL English in foreign cities, such as Hong Kong, Shanghai, Lahore, Kiev and Cairo.
EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITIES
I enjoy most sports, swimming, walking in parks, badminton, classic movies and music. Often I take day car-trips to new places to see new sights. I also like to watch old movies that I’ve never seen before.
