Working experience
I have taught in the primary, secondary, and tertiary sectors for many many years. My research interest is in second language acquisition, reading, testing and self-access learning. In my spare time I help out as a voluntary worker organizing activities for English language teachers.

Fun in teaching
The fun in teaching is that we are learning at the same time. We make friends with our students and we stay young. We train ourselves to be patient, to share our love and to empathize with others. We don't just complete tasks. We interact with real people and we grow in the process.
