Interest topic
I was born in London, England where I lived and worked for 30 years. I have also lived in Ireland for 10 years, and for the past 10 years I have been living in the Spanish Canary Islands.
My original Degree is in Construction Cost Engineering and I also have extensive experience of working in office and retail environments. I also have been involved in starting several business.
I have a TESOL teaching qualification which I completed 7 years ago and I have had a lot of musical experience including playing in a wedding band whilst I was living in Ireland.
Me as a Teacher
I taught Spanish school children from the ages of 7 to 15 years old in a classroom setting for over four years and evening classes for Spanish adults during this time as well.
For the past 2 years I have been tutoring Chinese adults, business people and college students online for a company called Likeshuo in Beijing. I have really enjoyed working with my Chinese students and I have learnt a lot about Chinese and Asian culture, traditions and lifestyle. I have taught approximately 2,000 online classes to Chinese students so far and am looking forward to visiting China once that travel is easier again in the next few years.
I have also tutored students from several other countries.
