"I am a TEFL teacher, certified by the TEFL Institute, Bangkok, Thailand. I focus on understanding everyday spoken English. I have seven years of TEFL experience and have been well received by my students. I have classroom, one-on-one and online experience, I have a Master's Degree in Technical Management from Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore and an undergrad degree from the University of Maryland. I have also authored a publication on tax reform, hardy related to ESL, but still an accomplishment. TEFL teaching is actually my retirement career. I worked for Northrop Grumman/Westinghouse as a Training Manager for 41 years. During that period I ventured into just about every aspect of vocational training. My job took me overseas for 20 of those years. I lived (not visited) in Germany, Spain, Algeria, Venezuela, Saudi Arabia and Thailand. Those experiences are treasured, and, I like to think, educationally rewarding Do you remember when you had your first conversation with your playmates? I bet you talked with them about parts of speech, transitive verbs, predicate nominatives and a myriad of other English grammar stuff. Sure you did! Let's push that nonsense aside and focus on learning to speak, listen and understand this hodge-podge of languages called English. I can help you do that. And, you'll be happy when you can. So,.... wadda ya say, ... wadda ya wanna du? I am a TEFL teacher." less...
