Tenielle Patterson – Teacher of the week

Monday, January 25th, 2010

Tell me a little bit about yourself:

My name is Tenielle and I’m a teacher with Talk to Canada.  I currently reside in New Brunswick, Canada.  I have both a BA and an MA in Sociology.

Fun facts about me; I enjoy a good debate, testing new technology, photography, learning new languages and collecting vintage books. I am a huge Star Trek fan, of all genres.   I also enjoy conducting research projects on many different topics, such as global economics, multicultural education initiatives, and criminal justice to name a few.

What was the last book that you read?

The last book I read was The Tipping Point by Malcolm Gladwell.

Describe yourself in 3 words:

Creative, adventurous and passionate.

Why do you like Teaching Online?

I like the flexibility of teaching with TTC and working in the online, adult education arena.  It is a fun and uniquely cultural opportunity to meet, work alongside a great team and teach students from all over the world.  This is truly a global experience, and all through the convenience of the computer.

Motto that you live by:

Everyday is an opportunity to achieve something, even if it’s just to hope for tomorrow.
