English is one of my top subjects! Qualified in this subject in this subject by WyzAnt. I taught English to Speakers of Other Languages as Senior Instructor with Inlingua (Vienna, Austria) for a period of two years and instituted an out source program for this company whereby I visited the offices of professionals such as lawyers, doctors and bankers and factories manned by blue collar workers to assist in their achieving greater fluency in English. I acted as a volunteer ESOL instructor at the Tarpon Springs campus of St. Petersburg College in 2011. While in the US Air Force I gave ESOL instruction to Korean Air Force Officers. I have also volunteered as an ESOL instructor with H.E.A.R.T. and R.S.V.P. in Hernando County, FL in recent years and have also offered private in home ESOL lessons while living in Vermont. I also worked for 6 months with the Department of Immigration in VT assisting applicants for US citizenship and incorporated English instruction in my course.
In my teaching, I make every effort to engage the attention of my students. While covering the subject at hand, I bring into my lessons references to a spectrum of other subjects when relevant such as historical context, cultural elements, literary allusions, modern and historical implications and facts and trivia relating to the subject which I believe will not only be of interest to the student but will also provide a more rounded appreciation of the benefits of a wide ranging education.
For the greater part of my life I have been involved in various facets of education. I have acted as substitute teacher at the middle and high school levels for a total of 10 years, 8 of which were spent at 12 schools in Vermont and 2 at 10 schools in Hernando County FL. I held the position of Senior ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages) with a highly reputed language school in Vienna ... read more
