Education
This section is mainly about education in China. I have knowledge of teaching in China at both High School and University level. I also have knowledge of it as a parent.
At High School level in China, I have knowledge of teaching in mostly English Literature to students from ages 15 to 18 as part of an International program for students who will immediately go to study at university in the USA. Although there are recognized syllabi for students studying on such American Programs, I was not required to follow any syllabus for English Literature. This was an advantage, as will be explained in further links, below.
At University level in China, I have knowledge of teaching a variety of topics at various universities in and around Beijing. As a list they include (in no particular order):
- Business Statistics as part of an externally moderated HND course run by the Scottish Qualifications Agency but held in various international schools in Chinese universities.
- IT for Business Students (planning and using Microsoft Project Software or something similar) as part of an externally moderated HND course run by the Scottish Qualifications Agency but held in various international schools in Chinese universities.
- Introductory Calculus for Business students as part of another course designed to help students go on to study in the USA.
- Speaking English courses for students who want, eventually, to study in the UK and who must therefore get a certain pass mark on the IELTS test.
- A History of Music course for students studying an externaly moderated Music Business HND course run by the Scottish Qualifications Agency but held in a Chinese university.
- An Introduction to Computer Design delivered to students studying an HND course overseen by the UK qualification agency EDEXCEL in IT and Design, held in an International School in a Chinese university in Beijing.
- An Introduction to Sound Editing delivered to students studying an HND course overseen by the UK qualification agency EDEXCEL in IT and Design, held in an International School in a Chinese university in Beijing.
- An Introduction to Web Design and Construction delivered to students studying an HND course overseen by the UK qualification agency EDEXCEL in IT and Design, held in an International School in a Chinese university in Beijing.
