About Me
Hello,
I am an English teacher. I did a Tesl and then began having the time of my life, and decided to teach young children,adolescents and adults in companies. Epression and creativity are rewards and motivate me. I like to touch the unseen. Once the lesson launched, I encourage the students to read between the lines. This makes them grow. We move faster into allogory, metaphor and some personal titbits come up for resolution. Our interactions provide enthusiasism for future lessons. This is my way of creating rapport. How do you ?

Favorite Word:
serendipityThis word recognises the connections which we ignore, or are unaware of in our day to day life. It keeps the door open to wonder, to marvels of nature, the other side of logic and keeps the Universe in a more humane form for me. There is no 'hasard'. We choose all the time. This helps.
Least Favorite Word:
confuseThis word calls up the odd thing which can occur in life, sometimes accidently, sometimes due to omission of an appropriate detail. It evokes engaging in care in expression for free choice and respect to exist. This takes time and courage.
Favorite Quote:
"The moving finger writes, and having writ, moves on."
- I don't know. Apparently, I was a child who played with her spittle on the sitting room wall.
