My teaching experience started back in 1988 where I was working for a company called Bryco Windows. They are a UPVC window and door manufacturer. Where my position was Sales Trainer. My job was to teach new staff and train them to understand the sales process and how to close the sale. This was a hard job to do as a sales man as the sales people got a lot of nock backs (no sale). Part of my job as sales trainer was to keep them motivated. Some times this got very hard with some sales people and many people left. The employee turn over was very high as not many people actually could master it. I worked there for four years in this position and enjoyed it met some really good people who did very well. Then I was offered another position doing the same thing but for an international company Cannon Ink. Basically doing the same job but it was teaching a different style of sales. Bryco was more direct sales closing the deal on the first visit. Where as cannon the sales can take months to close so more passive and keeping a good rapport with the clients was very important. So it was a different teaching approach. Worked there for another 5 years. Then in 1997 I left to start travelling. Travelling and working through 39 different country’s over the last 22 years. When in Africa (south Sinai 2004) I was working as an English teacher For Sheik Trawler teaching two of his young boys to speak English. Through play and games and using a study book called Solutions. The book was used more as a gap fills to the games and play. The boys where very young when I first started but learnt extremely quickly. I did this for nearly 6 years. Then I was told by the Sheikh I need to leave as there is going to be a lot of problems in Egypt and its best that I leave. So I took the sheikh’s advise and started to make arrangements to leave. I made my mind up that my next place would be Russia. On 27 September 2010 I landed in Moscow Russia. My first issue here was no one spoke any English at all .So there was a real need to learn a language quickly and did so I found Russian to be a very easy language to learn. Oh and 10 days after landing in Russia The Egyptian Revolution started, so the sheikh was right. Leaving was the right thing to do. I found myself a teaching job with an English centre called British academic centre. Teaching at secondary schools in Moscow. And teaching business to groups, some were investment companies. Banks and insurance companies. This was a very interesting position teaching from young learners and business people, including one to one with directors of company’s. I worked for the company for nearly 5 years. They were very good to me and I really enjoyed my time in Russia. I would recommend any one who wants to meet some good people and earn good money and teach, Try Russia. Then I moved to Asia and started teaching in Cambodia, for me not such a good experience. So I didn’t stay there working as a teacher for long. Before I moved to Vietnam in Jan 2018 Now in Vietnam and found a very good job working for a centre been here a year now and it looks like I will be here for a very long time. Teaching around the world is the best experience I have ever had. You meet some very cool people and you have a lot of fun on the way.
