During my first year teaching overseas, I amassed so many notes of all the things I wish I had known before heading overseas that I decided to put them all together to help others who, like me, wanted to venture overseas to teach English. These are personal insights I gained from experience. Though things change and I have updated this book over the years, most of what I originally jotted down still holds true today. For anyone thinking of teaching overseas, this book is a preparation and survival guide. It is interesting, informative and it might save them many headaches in their new role as an ESL teacher abroad. I am Canadian. Over the past 30 years, I have spent more than half teaching English and other subjects in Thailand. I have also taught business subjects in Canada at St. Lawrence College and as a guest lecturer at Seneca College, Toronto.At the same time, I have taught online business courses for the Canadian School of Management, International Management Centres (UK), Revans University, Boulder, CO, USA and Les Roches Hospitality School in Bluche, Switzerland.I am also an artist, working mostly in oils and acrylics, educational volunteer, and speaker I am also a platinum author on Ezinearticles.com.
