OTHER QUALIFICATIONS
I taught 3 classes weekly during the month of my TESOL certification in London. My learners were mostly Spanish, Italian and a few were from South America; ages 24-50. Most of the curriculum materials were adapted and rewritten by myself, creating appropriate
and fresh new material for my classes. Examples of lesson plans are available upon request. I have also taught software: graphic design programs, CRM databases, etc. to adults and teens. I have taught courses in drawing and creative writing to teens and adults, given presentations and workshops to teachers, administrators and librarians utilizing multicultural curriculum materials to promote literacy and world peace. I have an extensive business background.
