About Me
Introduction:
Good day
I am a white male native English speaker who has taught in South Africa at elementary schools, in China (University level) as well as a substitute teacher in Thailand. I have been a teacher to children of all ages, students at university- level as well as adults. I would now like to do online teaching in subjects such as Oral English, Reading English, and Business English.
My studies include psychology, child counseling, education psychology, sports psychology, and many other subjects.
Teaching children and adults is my passion and I have an in-depth understanding of human behavior and teaching methods. I have also studied life coaching and together with my background in sport psychology, I am capable of motivation, sport, and physical exercise, and preparing students for possible studies at overseas institutions.
I understand teaching English as a second language across cultures very well and have good relations with all cultures. My availability is immediate.
Kind regards
