About the teacher

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.
