Welcome to my web site!
I have been
in the business of education since 1967 and I pride myself on providing customers with the best-quality of educational needs
and personal service. I have worked in many different countries of this world as a teacher, administrator, sports coach and
just about everything having to do with education. You can count on me to deliver excellent educational needs for your child
as well as great results. I offer tutoring in English (also ESL), Math, Science, History and Art.
I am also a former YMCA and Red Cross Swimming and diving instructor. A pool is on the premesis if swim lessons are
wanted. For overseas students wanting to experience the American life I offer ESL classes in a residential setting for one,
two, or three week stays. Excellent meals are provided by my Italian chef sister and the accomodations are outstanding. (On
Left side Bar click on Condo to see the accommodations) Weekly excursions are taken to some of South Florida's most beautiful
sites.

Some of my Adventures
One great advantages
of teaching in Thailand is the fact of it having so much to do and see. On many class outings the students learn so much about
their own country and its beauty. A favorite attraction is one of the many Water Parks that are there and the Parks where
the kids can interact with the animals. In the picture shown I am acting with the animals. It was a great experience and a
lot of fun for the kids who also had a chance to do this and to feed a tiger. Thailand may have a very hot
climate most of the time but there are a great many places where you can cool off. Most of the times on the class trips, the
kids stay in the water. However, they really don't seem to mind the heat, unlike the foreigners who swealter in it. I
for one enjoyed it very much
| Water Tower in City |
|
| Hallandale Beach |
Hallandale Beach has a large water tower near the beach
that can be seen from very far away.
I guess it has a special meaning for the people living in "The City of Choice."
In fact the tower
is almost on the beach which is a very well kept area.

| My pet slow lorris monkey |
Ping was a slow lorris monkey from the jungles
of Northern Thailand. She was the cuties little thing you could have. However, she was vicious. She would eat pieces of banana,
grapes and live geckos, lizards and crickets. she moved very slowly except when she saw something to eat. She was lots of
fun and she used to stay in my shirt pocket where she slept most of the time. She roamed around the house when everyone was
sleeping. During the day she would crawl under the plastic cover of my printer and sleep. She hated to be awakened and would
make hissssing sounds. Here she is in my soap dish in the shower.

| Happy Korean Students |
|
| Merry Christmas |
| I wish I could go to Ben's School |
|
| When I am bigger I will go |
I had the happiest class of Korean Students that any teacher could ever have. I also had the privilege
of being featured on the cover of a Korean Magazine Showing me at work in one of my class rooms. The kids were a joy and I
know that all of their parents were very happy they had me for a teacher. But, All good things eventually come to an end.
I wish them all well.
