English, Ethics Lecturer
Yew Chung Community College
Total years of experience :18 years, 4 Months
I am a fully qualified and very experienced Hong Kong school teacher. Although I currently teach English to university students at a small Hong Kong community college, I am more than capable of supporting any school’s English Language learning, as you will see from my attached C.V. For years now, I have also been teaching and tutoring kindergartners and primary school students on a part-time basis with a number of companies and schools and I enjoy it very much. I am a certified IELTs Examiner. Although I am an American citizen from Chicago and speak English as my first language, I speak Cantonese fluently and have years of diverse teaching experience in various international settings. In the USA, I worked as a full-time Special Needs E.S.L. Assistant in a culturally diverse Chicago suburb public primary school (Mccleery in Aurora, Illinois) while completing advanced ESL/EFL certification. Also, I have written and assembled many supplementary materials for diverse E.S.L. students at various levels at a number of sites, Google Blogger and Wordpress. More than 30, 000 students and teachers have now accessed the site: www.welearnhere.blogspot.com for materials.
I would be very happy for the opportunity of an interview.
