I have no previous teaching experience in schools. I did do tutoring in the past for math and physics at an academy for training government workers.
I have some experience with teaching English one on one with foreign adults. I was married to a woman from Kazakhstan and helped her and some of her friends.
I feel that the Bridge-linguatec TEFL course has prepared me for this job. My strong point is designing lessons. My professor talked with me like I have been teaching already. He was impressed with some of my ideas. Once I know what the level and age of students are I will have no problems with designing lessons for them and keeping the class running smoothly.

Software/system skills
I have worked with windows 98 / 2000 / XP pro. I have experience with Microsoft word and office. I am also good with troubleshooting problems with Microsoft Windows

Language skills
I had 2 years of Spanish and 1 year of Latin in High School. English is my main language.
