Hello, my name is Terry Hooper, I am a Canadian citizen by birth and a naturalized 'Tico' I live in Costa Rica, speak fluent Spanish and have over 15 years of teaching and administration experience in English instruction, including the designing of curricula, methodology and English specific to business. I consider teaching to be both a pleasure and an honour, and encourage my students to have fun with the language. I like to focus on listening/speaking above all, in the knowledge that grammar will be more easily assimilated once the sounds and rhythms of English are understood.
BA English literature United College Winnipeg Manitoba, Canada graduated 1969.
CERTESL certificate University of Saskatchewan graduated 1998.
I have taught ESL in Vancouver during the course of my education, as an academic director and administrator, I have taught teachers current ESL/EFL methodology, as well as methodology that I myself have developed here in Costa Rica. I have also taught in the Costa Rican public school system to students in grades 7-9. I designed the curriculum in the subjects of English composition and grammar as well as world geography for a bilingual school in Santa Ana.
