Community Service

Eleven years as Principal teacher – ESL Café at St Paul's Bloor Street Toronto Canada. The FREE ESL English Cafe conversation sessions have operated at St Paul's for many years now and have helped over 21,000 adults improve their English language skills.

Skills and Accomplishments

Designed and operated the first multi-instructor TESL Canada Certified ESL teacher training program in Canada. I designed a 10 instructor module format program that enabled prospective teachers the opportunity to learn from actual working ESL teachers with a specialty. There are many TESL/TESOL programs that now copy my module format and incorporate interactive workshops.

Designed and operated the first teacher-as-boss business English internship program and operated it in Canada and South Korea. Two of the top ESL schools in Canada where I have taught or had internship students now copy my business internship training program.

First to use the 1000 most used English words from the 1990 Brown Corpus as the English camp vocabulary for the English Immersion conversation programs, sports and activity programs and the English performance programs. Taught children from ages 8 to 18 in our English language camps, activity programs and school programs as a counselor, teacher, coach and camp director.

Created a training program for an Ontario Regional Police Force. I expanded my mini-English skill test sections into a five-part English Language Communications and Comprehension Assessment. This assessment was incorporated into the police candidate screening and selection process and has been used for over 5 years. Was part of the police candidate selection team that raised the Ontario Police College results from 18th to 1st place over a 3 year period. Was part of the promotion evaluation team for police promotion candidates to Detective, Sergeant, Inspector, Superintendent and Deputy Chief.

Directed the ESL Cafe at St Paul's in Toronto for 11 years. My functions as principal teacher included helping new teachers, assessing students language levels, operating the online promotions and social media activities. We have helped over 17,000 in our free classes as a community service. My social media communication program raised the average weekly attendance from 35 to over 650.

Corporate finance experience includes 12 years in the investment industry, launch of IPO's, company mergers, acquisitions and start-ups.

As education consultant/director negotiated three-party marketing/program delivery agreement that grew a new Ontario career college (PCC) student body from 16 to 442 students over a 16 month period.
