Kiki Christie — Teacher of the week

by Jillian Zavitz

Tell me a little bit about yourself:

My name is Kim but I usually go by Kiki and I live in Victoria, BC.  I have an English degree and also a Library degree, but I haven’t worked in libraries for quite a few years.  I really prefer teaching.  I enjoy knitting, music and reading, but I don’t get a lot of time for the last one!

What was the last book that you read?

The last book I read, hmm…  actually it was a book on Buddhism called A Path with Heart, by Jack Kornfield.  I’m really interested in Buddhism and Tibetan culture in general.

Describe yourself in 3 words:

talkative, curious, multitasker…

Why do you like teaching English online?

I love meeting people from other cultures and learning about them, and I also love English, so the two fit together well.  I really enjoy teaching online in particular because it’s flexible, I can work from home and I’m an Internet addict (so this way I can Google stuff while I teach)!

Motto that you live by:

Act with intention.
