Les activités qui m'intéressent :
I'm interested in improving my Spanish while teaching English.
Description
My beautiful border collie just passed away and she brought me happiness beyond belief. Now that she is gone, I would like to open my heart to other opportunities. I'm a born traveler and love learning languages. I am also musical.
I love teaching and I currently teach English online. I taught French at the High School level for 15 years. I am a very good teacher.
I'm also a trained chef. Cooking has always brought me a great deal of pleasure.
I have two sons who are married. I don't have any grandchildren yet. I am very youthful for my age and enjoy having a laugh.

Quelles sont vos compétences ?
I owned and operated a restaurant for 15 years. I was trained as a saucier.
I have a Master's degree in Education and a Bachelor of Education. I have always taught languages and love seeing a person's face light up when they get what I mean. I have several certificates in TESOL, CELPIP, and CAEL, all English teaching certificates. I prefer teaching adults but am not adverse to older children if they are willing to learn.
I play the harp but right now I am concentrating on learning the piano.
I also hold a few certificates from the wine industry, having worked in wineries for a few years.

I lived with my border collie for 12 years and loved looking after her. I really love dogs.

Itziar was the perfect host. She treated me like a special guest in her home. She went out of her way to show me places and try foods that are particular to the Basque region. She introduced me to her friends and took special care in making sure that I understood the nuances of the Spanish language while I was helping her with her English.

Rocio was an excellent host. She took care of me like I was family. Not only did she care about my comfort during my two week stay, she was the ultimate tour guide. She showed me beautiful villages that captured the heart of northern Spain. She also introduced me to her family who were very generous in welcoming me into their homes. I was sad to… read more
