About Me
Introduction:
I am Karla a Jamaican teacher for over fifteen years teaching Business Education subjects to students between the ages of 12 years to 17 years. Have also done community service working with students between the ages of 3 years to 6 years in my community at my local church. Teaching and learning takes place everyday, every minute and so I wish to have the experience of other cultures around the world as I enter the TESOL online teaching community.
