I’m currently teaching English in various learning centers and St James Catholic Primary School in Hong Kong. Before teaching in Hong Kong I taught English and creative writing to kindergarten, primary, and middleschool students around Guangzhou that were from 4 to 13 years of age. Before Guangzhou I taught for Aston English in Hanzhong, China for six months. Over this time I have developed a strong passion for education and acquired the tools that help me be an effective educator and role model for young learners. Being that my educational training was in creative writing I seize every opportunity to instill the seeds of the creative process in my students. I also have an acoTESOL certificate, which the training I received from has greatly helped shape me as a foreign language teacher. I work best under the framework of being allowed creative freedom. In my opinion thus far, being allowed to shape the lessons to the needs of the students, as a teacher becomes acquainted with those needs over the semester, is a very effective way a teacher teaches. As a professional of any kind it’s my belief that one must have a certain degree of being able to go with the flow, in terms of flexibility, to keep a positive attitude. Read less
