How about getting back to giving escualidos (or non-escualidos) English classes?

And JohnnyTheKid: Don't be so sure that the moonraven will ALWAYS be American. Native Americans can become citizens of other countries....

Considering all the snide configurations that have been given to my nom de guerre on this forum, you'll get no sympathy from me, kid.

Moving right along--in regard to the OP's question: English schools in Latin America that offer one-to-one classes usually have a rough go of it, due to Latin American cultural habits of not always showing up for classes. Some schools have received bad reps with teachers for not paying them when a student didn't show up for classes. That may not be true in Caracas, but it is something to take into consideration if you need to have a predictable paycheck.

Marthe, I can give you some sympathy. I'm a horrendous poet, too!

[moonraven]

I, however, am not. I have been publishing poetry and giving public readings of my poetry since WAY before you were born. (Not to mention that my MA is in Creative Writing--Poetry.)

Keep to what you know something about.

Your silence will be appreciated.

Are you aware that revealing personal information about other posters on this forum can result in your being banned AGAIN?

I did NOT publish it on the JOb Discussion Forum, however. If I had wanted to use my name as my nom de guerre on this forum I would have done so.

You continue to violate the rights of other posters--this is not the first time that you have done this on the Job Discussion Forum, as you did so also to Guy Courchesne when you published a PRIVATE mail. You also continue to the violate rules about insulting other posters. And you have never posted anything even remotely relevant to ESL.

Yes, you were banned, as well. Try proving that you were not.

You figure out how to prove it. This will be a test of your problem-solving abilities.

Why is it always the thickies that think they're clever? (Note to thickies: That was a rhetorical question.)

I�m one of the founders of OptimalEnglish and I run our recruitment program CoachEnglish. We started two years ago from scratch, developing our own English-learning system, writing the books, recording our CDs, building our websites, selling our services and logging more than 20.000 academic hours of coaching at companies like P&G, Microsoft, Sun, Pfizer as well as government entities such as PDVSA, the National Budget Office and the Central Bank. We have worked with a linguist from the University of Washington, Dr. Nancy Ackles, to make sure the system is sound from an academic point of view.
Through CoachEnglish we recruit recent college graduates and in some instances college students. We help with all relocation issues once they get to Caracas and offer contracts for up to 12 months. Currently there are coaches working with us who have studied or are studying at places as far away from each other as Vanderbilt and Oxford.
None of us has an MBA (I studied Genetics at Cornell, one my partners studied Politics at Hampshire College and pursued a PhD in Comp Lit at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, and the other one is studying engineering at Universidad Simon Bolivar), although I'd like to get one someday. We are doing this because we believe in it and are having a good time doing it. We were all born in Caracas, think the city is a great place to live and have chosen to start our company here. And that�s the story. Please write me if you have any questions and thanks for all the interest. ([email protected]) (www.coachenglish.com and www.optimalenglish.com)
