Remote worker with 6+ years of experience - Last seen 1 month ago

I am a versatile professional with a strong background in IT, English education, and customer engagement. I have over 16 years of experience teaching English as a second and foreign language (ESL/EFL), primarily focusing on beginner-level students. My expertise includes working with students ranging from 4 to 12 years old and tailoring lessons to diverse needs. I hold a TESOL certification, which complements my extensive teaching career.

In addition to my teaching experience, I have a solid IT background, having worked with various Linux distributions, including DSL, Red Hat, and Ubuntu. I also contributed to the video game development industry at Back Bone Entertainment, where I maintained IT infrastructure and resolved technical issues. I have proficiency in tools like Dreamweaver and Illustrator, though I primarily excel in IT troubleshooting and system maintenance.

Beyond my professional expertise, I am an avid car enthusiast and sports lover. I own a 2024 Suzuki Swift Sport, which I actively modify and maintain. My hobbies include ice hockey, which I play 3-4 times weekly, and I coach a university ice hockey team. I am also skilled in several sports, including baseball, volleyball, rugby, football, and basketball.

Currently, I am looking for remote opportunities that align with my skills and interests. I am open to roles in IT support, education, or customer service, where I can leverage my technical expertise, teaching experience, and interpersonal skills to make a meaningful impact. Additionally, I am interested in exploring asset-building ventures and entrepreneurial opportunities.
