TalktoCanada.com Teacher of the Week – Jenn Foldi

by Jillian Zavitz

Jenn Foldi

Teacher with TalktoCanada.com since 2010

My name is Jenn Foldi and I was raised and currently reside in Ontario, Canada.  I attended Wilfrid Laurier University and obtained a B.A. in Contemporary Studies, as well as, a minor in Psychology.  I enjoy traveling internationally because I like to experience and gain a better understanding of the world we live in.  In my spare time, I like listening to music, spending time with friends, and going for hikes with my dog.  I also enjoy reading and the last book I read was Eat, Pray, Love by Elizabeth Gilbert.  If I were to describe myself in three words they would be: kind, friendly, and patient.  The motto I like to live by is “Live in the present moment”.  I enjoy this idea because many people, including myself, tend to live in the past or future and when it really comes down to it the present moment is all we truly have.  So, I try very hard to stay in the present and appreciate what is happening at that time.  I really enjoy working for TTC because it is a very fun job and I love working with international students. I like how eager they are to learn English and I also take pleasure in learning more about their country and comparing the similarities and differences to Canadian life.  I really feel that the more we learn about others and their ways of living, the more insight we gain about ourselves and who we are as people.
