Using life and work experiences to provide context to learning.
Peter B, PhD, MSc., BSc. (Hons.), Cert. Ed., TEFL Certificates (General and Business English)
Hi! My name is Peter and I am a native English speaker who grew up in England and who now lives in Australia. I have extensive experience in teaching in higher education institutions in Australia, Canada and the UK. As an academic I have written a lot about ‘work life balance’, and was a Professor in the Business School at Griffith University, when I retired early so I could practice what I preached.
Since retiring from full-time academic life, I have traveled extensively and would describe myself as an‘adrenaline’ junky. I have trekked above Everest Base camp in Nepal, have climbed Mt Kilimanjaro in Africa, and have hiked, biked and paddled across Costa Rica. I am also a passionate golfer. In between my travels and golf, I also became a TEFL trained teacher and have taught Everyday English and Business English at all levels in Thailand, Laos and on-line, over the last eight years.
There is an old Chinese proverb which says ‘Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, and you feed him for a lifetime'. To my way of thinking, education is indeed an important force that can empower people to be the best they can be.
I have been an educator all my life, and am keen to pursue my passion for teaching while utilizing my skills in helping non-native English speakers to develop their English skills.
I have a wealth of work and life experiences to draw on, and look forward to sharing my knowledge and experiences with you in the virtual classroom.
