日本に来たきっかけと、フランス語講師になったきっかけ

フランス語を学ぶ生徒へアドバイス

I have been teaching English in Japan for 2 years and in Korea for 4 years - all age-groups from adults to kindergarten in reputable English institutes in Japan (British Hills in Fukushima-ken) and in Korea.

I taught at the University of Kang Nam in Seoul, Korea (Foreign Language Education Centre) specializing in customized corporate teaching on contract for various companies. At the Legal Research Centre I taught judicial officers, prosecutors, immigration officials, juvenile detention officers and language (Japanese, Chinese & English) teachers. I also taught semiconductor engineers at Samsung Electronics, medical engineers at Green Cross Pharmaceutical Benefit Management Corporation and electrical engineers at Dong-Ah Elecomm. I participated in a Summer Camp at Myong-ji University for the students of Tae Sung High School. I also taught undergraduate and postgraduate students and individual professors and other private individuals who signed up for Kang Nam University’s FLEC programme.

An English native-speaker, I majored in English (language and literature) and French (language and literature) for my B.A. degree at South Africa’s most prestigious university, the University of Stellenbosch (US).

Thereafter, I studied Law (LL.B.), also at the University of Stellenbosch, qualifying as a senior lawyer (barrister or advocate). The LL.B. degree conferred on me is a 3-year post-graduate equivalent to a Master’s Degree and covers every aspect of Public, Private and Mercantile Law.

I was selected for the South African Foreign Service where I was trained as a diplomat. I was trained in post-graduate university courses in political science, economics, law, anthropology, sociology, media & communication skills, etc. under the aegis of the following universities: University of the Witwatersrand, University of Pretoria (UP), University of South Africa (UNISA) and Rand Afrikaans University (RAU). After managing bilateral relations with the Nordic Countries (Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Finland & Iceland), I was posted as diplomat to Tokyo, Japan for the period 1991-1994.

Thereafter, as a lawyer and legal adviser, I represented various Southern African indigenous peoples’organizations. This also entailed participation at the United Nations in Geneva, Switzerland.

I have done primary research in archival institutions and public records offices in the Netherlands, Switzerland, Denmark and England for 30 years. I have published numerous research papers, given presentations, and edited a journal on various micro-historical aspects of Dutch colonial expansion in the 17th century.

I have much experience in many fields of endeavour. I have travelled widely (29 countries), lived abroad (4 countries), studied, researched and written widely (languages, linguistics, literature, law, politics and history), know a number of foreign languages (French, Dutch, Danish, Latin) enjoy teaching - especially interacting in a cross-cultural milieu - and have much experience in education, public relations, presentations, elocution and media work.

I enjoy sharing my experience and gaining new experience while also developing more effective ways of teaching English to non-native English students. I am happiest teaching my native tongue (English) and sharing knowledge and experience.
