My teaching journey

Hello!

I started teaching in 1982 in a private school  in the northern part of Brussels.  I quickly moved to the Antwerp International School the next year of my career nd I have been teaching in English every since.   After working for two years as a teacher assistant at the University of MN,  I moved to the  Vail Valley and have worked both at the Vail Mountain School and at the Eagle County school District.


My philosophy  about teaching language can be summarized  with the word EXPERIENCE.
I want to provide my students with experiences  that include  movement, music, props, games, simulation and most of all EMOTION.  All research points to the fact that emotion is  key to learning.
