Experience Summary
I have taught English, Spanish, and/or ESOL over the past 30 years on the high school and college levels. Also, I have studied about 10 languages during my lifetime. Now I am bilingual in Spanish and English and am studying Haitian Creole. My passions in teaching English are grammar, vocabulary, writing, and public speaking.
Teaching Style
I have taught in the traditional classroom for the major part of my English teaching career, but have used computer resources like Rosetta Stone to complement my in-class lessons. Looking ahead, I would welcome the opportunity to use more online resources and/or to teach a "blended class" some day.
My Hobbies
I collect grammar books and dictionaries from different languages that I have either studied or taught.
