I taught more than three thousand students in China at all levels and included creative, business and academic writing. I love using other subjects and real writing as it helps students with other subjects and is much more fun. ONe student wanted to learn quantum mechanics, so we did, while he learned English and eliminated his stuttering. I like to think I have changed the world one student at a time. I have taught online since coming home in 2014. All were private referrals so I did not lose them when Xi stopped Chinese companies hiring foreign resident teachers, but most have graduated now. I have a BA at Concordia in Creative Writing and an M. Ed at McGill in teaching writing in Montreal and my French is still ok. I am TESOL certified. I try to customize to student needs so not to waste their time. I believe that learning should be fun. I love to learn. and do so every day. Currently I am trying to master artificial intelligence, which I have actually used since 1992, when I taught fifth grade using it for students to make an expert system. That was exciting. AI can help us by eliminating boring stuff and helping us organize.

Hobbies

I read a lot and love music, especially instrumental, play piano and write a lot. I take all kinds of classes just for fun and I also find some time for painting, gardening, sewing and needlework. I still cook from scratch, though my children are grown. I am currently writing a new set of textbooks for teaching and learning language, and apps for EFL/ESL plus a book on how to eliminate waste, which is ruining the environment for us. Each of us can help and also save our money that way. I keep my own computers running and am learning animation now for making teaching materials. Besides it is fun. I am brushing up my foreign languages in anticipation of more travel in the future. I mostly watch arts and crafts on TV plus I love mysteries science programs, and science fiction. I have done a lot of different jobs in my life, but teaching, writing and singing in night clubs were the most fun.
