Objective:

I am a native English speaker from Canada looking for a full-time ESL teaching position in Shanghai for the fall semester. I have my Global TESOL College Foundation Certificate and my specialization course in Teaching Children English. I'm a very positive, out-going person and I love working with children. I moved to Shanghai in October 2008 so I have nearly two years experience teaching English. I am currently in Vietnam but looking at coming back to Shanghai to teach ESL as early as September. I have a valid work visa for China, expiring at the end of November, so hoping to request a renewnal. I know some very basic Mandarin.
