About Skip

Skip Gole, Widewater, C & O Canal, Washington, D.C., 2008

Hi! My name's Skip, and I teach and train teachers at El Cultural in Trujillo, Peru. This is a 7,000 student binational center with over 120 teacher. I have taught English in Japan and Thailand, and I have travelled through many parts of India, Malaysia, Nepal, and Thailand. For relaxation, I have loved to climb on the rocks around Great Falls on the Potomac River. I also like to relax by reading a good non-fiction book or watching an old movie--or another old movie. To tell you the truth, I like many kinds of movies.

Here are some of my teaching experiences:

Taught English at A to Z language school in Okaya-shi, Japan for 5 years.

Taught at Nisseki Nursing College to nursing students in Kami-Suwa, Japan for 4 years.
Also taught at Seiko-Epson Electronics factory in Japan.

Substitute taught at University of Washington, Seattle, Washington.f

Also, taught at a private language school in downtown Seattle.

Interned at Maryland English Institute, University of Maryland, College Park, Maryland.
Substitute taught as an ESL elementary school teacher in Montgomery County Public Schools in Maryland for one year.
Since 2001, I've mostly taught speaking, listening, and pronunciation courses, along with some reading and writing courses at Montgomery College

in Rockville, Maryland.

I have an M.A. in TESOL from Anaheim University, which is an online college. I was in the first online Master of Arts in TESOL group of

students at Anaheim in the late 1990's.

In the Future:

I dream about going to Mars in the future, but it's a one-way trip, and there aren't many students there!
Here are two videos. The first, on the left is about Mars; the second, on the right is about the recent landing on comet 67p. This just happened!

Click on this picture, above, to see the video!

My next major goal is to publish research in my classes.
Lastly, I am presently doing teacher training in the beautiful little city of Trujillo, which is in Peru.

Now, I am an English Language Fellow, which is a State Department program administered by Georgetown University.
