About Me
Well I have reached the age where responsibilty plays an important part in my life, so I would like to find myself teaching in a country like Japan, Middle East or any other country that would enable me to save some money in the bank in the process.
What I love about life is the challenges that it has to offer. Challenges are what make life so much more interesting but the desire to tackle them, overcome and learn from them is what really puts the icing on the cake.
Since 1990 teaching and training has become my passion. For ten years, I taught and trained in Thailand students from the age of 5 to business professionals. At that time I worked without any formal qualifications realated to teaching or training. I found myself fitting in so well into this type of work that it ended up becoming the career of my life. Teaching has helped me discover myself and what kind of person I really am. The rewards in teaching was not so much how much the job paid but rather the satisfaction I get in doing the job; offering my knowledge knowing that one day it will change some people's lives for the better and the respect you earn as a teacher in the community. I don't think you can put a price tag on this.
I have an uncompromising view that all students can learn given a positive learning atmosphere that welcomes exploration and enhances student confidence. It is my belief, that an educator’s missions is to make learning enjoyable and exciting; if students look forward to attending a class then they will LEARN. I believe that is what an educational establishment is all about.
