Intro Gerry457

Gerry  B.M.

I trained as a Primary/Elementary Teacher and taught that age group for 15 years, including 5 years as a Pincipal, took a break for a few years then decided to change to teaching International Students - which I have done for the past 15 years.

Now I have moved onto Workplace Training, but I wish to remain teaching online as it is something I really enjoy.

My lessons are student led, it is all about what the student wants. If I notice something else I think you need to work on I will suggest it to you.
