Math/Social Studies/English teacher with 28 years experience

RESUME INTRODUCTION

I am a versatile/flexible person who has worked in various multi-cultural settings overseas. I have experience in IB, IGCSE, ESL, AP, CST and CET exams. I have also taught all levels from middle school to university level. Over the years i have taught English, math, science, social studies and PE. Most of my classes had mixed levels of English learners so I acquired a lot of ESL work. In addition I was able to team teach with local teacher assistants. I am very interested in extra curricular activities/have been an activities coordinator and done a fair amount of coaching. I am also interested in coaching students in debate an public speaking. I am easy going, get along with most people, have a sense of humor and have worked in very difficult as well as challenging situations. The schools I have worked in were as small as 55 students and as large as 2,200 students.

I enjoy travel and learning about various cultures and have acquired various language skills. I speak Mandarin, Spanish and Thai fluently and can converse in Arabic and French. My hobbies are sports, photography, hiking, linguistics, cooking, architecture and working with bamboo.
