I am fluent in English. I speak Spanish almost perfectly. I was raised in French, and I learned Japanese in Japan while hitch-hiking. The was the most education fun I have had in my entire life.
I have a 4 year B.A. in Education from the University of South Florida in Tampa. My average was 93 %. I also took a course in communication here in Kelowna for 6 months. I also followed the Dale Carnegie Course. I taught public speaking in English on a ship for 6 months.
Note E.S.L. means English as a second Language
1. I taught E.S.L. at the Berlitz Language School for 4 years in Nagoya , Japan and one year at the same school in Barcelona, Spain.

9. I taught Spanish by meeting strangers in the street for 6 months.
10. I wrote a book about my life in English. When I was teaching , my favorite students were the ones most teachers hated because I am very creative and extremely fun , and funny. In Japan they gave me the students who had difficulty learning because when I was young I too had difficulty learning. I taught so many years, and I never got frustrated or angry at a student because he or she was not understanding. When I teach you , you will not only learn English, but I will teach you how to be happy, because I taught happiness for 14 years. I taught high school student how to be happy. Google Tony Robbins because I am a lot like him. I was homeless on purpose so I can have two wells built in Africa , and save thousands of lives just with fresh drinking water. I have been around the world twice and in total I travelled for 13 years. I was a Japanese speaking tour guide for 3 years. I volunteered as a greeter in Mandarin at a winery here in Kelowna. My biggest defect is that a behave sometimes like a child because I am so silly.
I love to motive, inspire, and give compliments as much as I can , as long these compliments are true. I have done a lot of stand up comedy, so I will make you laugh a lot.
It is possible for me to teach every day of the week from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m.
