Hello and thanks for visiting my site. |
|
|
|
My
name is Daniel. I am a Business and ESL Instructor and
also work as a Corporate Trainer, College Professor and IT Consultant. |
|
|
|
I
am a native English speaker who grew up in Montreal, where I
studied both in French and English throughout elementary school,
high school and part of university. |
|
|
|
After
graduation, I worked at a software company in Montreal for two
years as a Technical Writer and in PC technical support. |
|
|
|
In
1991, I went to Yokohama, Japan to teach Business English and
cross-cultural communication skills to employees and managers
of major Japanese companies. Later, I worked as a SAT,
TOEIC, TOEFL, GMAT and GRE Instructor in the Study Abroad program
of the Yokohama YMCA. I also taught courses in Computer
Science at a local American college in Yokohama. |
|
|
|
Still
in Japan, I decided to get back into the IT field and soon began
to give software training to both foreign and Japanese employees
of embassies, banks, securities companies and manufacturing
companies in Tokyo. This led to longer-term projects at
many of these same clients in Project Management of client-server
software applications, Business Analysis and Packaged Software
Implementation. |
|
|
|
In
1999, just before the Y2K scare, I returned to Canada and soon
thereafter began to work in Toronto. There, I taught ESL
to Korean, Japanese, Chinese and Mexican students. I also
began teaching IT courses in Programming, Networking and Database
technologies to international students studying at community
college and to adult evening students studying at university. |
|
|
|
I
also started my own IT consulting company which supports small
businesses' training, network and website support needs. |
|
|
|
I
have many interests, including, technology & Internet, international
relations, cycling, skiing, photography and writing. |
