Why did you become an ESL teacher?
I started volunteering teaching ESL while studying at the
University of Alberta. I enjoyed it so much I wanted to keep
doing it.
How long have you taught English?
Since 2001.
How long have you taught English at VEC?
Since 2005.
What was your major in university or college?
English.
What do you like best about teaching?
I enjoy meeting new and interesting people and helping them
to improve their skills and develop talents they may not have
realized they had.
What is your favourite topic to discuss with students
in your class?
I like to learn about their lives and their interests. I have
had so many students who are very educated and accomplished.
I have learned more from them than they have from me!
What is your hobby?
I enjoy hiking, camping, scuba diving and snowboarding.
What
advice do you have for new students?
Get
involved in activities and get to know other students! You
can learn as much or more from social situations as you can
in the classroom.
