My own education history
I grew up speaking Dutch, started learning French at age 10 and English at age 14. I also speak German and Spanish and have notions of Italian. I got my secondary diploma in Languages and Social Studies, have a Bachelor of Science, and a Master of Teaching English to Students of Other Languages ~ MAT ESL. For the past thirteen years, I have been teaching English Language Learners.
Additional biographical information
I've lived in Europe, the USA, and Central America. During my time living in Belgium, I worked as a translator for a major Belgian Steel Company. In Panama, I coached the Panamanian National Gymnastics Team and taught my gymnasts in my club, The American Stars Gymnastics. I had about 100 gymnasts who I saw twice a week. I published two children's exercise books and an inspirational book for gymnasts and gymnastics enthusiasts. "Monkey See Monkey do. An Animal Exercise Book for You" is translated into eight languages.
