Hi, I live and work in La Paz, Bolivia in South America. I am in my second marriage and have lived here with my wife since 2012. Before that, I lived and worked in six different countries. I am originally from Vancouver, Canada where I taught adult immigrants. My passion is in teaching test and interview preparation. I have about 25 years of classroom teaching experience and three years online. I have mostly taught adults settling in Canada, business people in Europe and India, and university students in Saudi Arabia. My online students have mostly been business people and those wanting to do the IELTS. In a typical general lesson, we warm up by talking about what is new in our lives. We move on to a discussion of a photo I supply. The next activity depends on you. You can choose from reading and discussing a daily news item, working on a programmed lesson that you chose from a list, or having free-style conversation. Before I got into teaching I worked in the Industrial Supply business and was mostly responsible for power tool purchasing and inventory control. My hobbies are gardening and reading about cultural issues and technology.
