back to school cv


Hey, cv is back and for once I have decided to join in.
I hesitated about it, to be honest, as I do not do personal stuff on this blog (not much, at least.) 
But... What the hell, let's throw caution to the wind and write something slightly private. Woo hoo, brave or what!

After a few months thinking about it, I have landed myself a job as English teacher at a vocational school in Amsterdam. It is going to be a challenge and a half, to say the least, but hey, so far so good. Kind of. Ahem. Lots to learn, but I will survive.

There. How is that for a back to school post, then?

Here is a pic of Miss Ninja (or should I say Juffrouw Ninja?) waiting for the metro last week.

Oh yeah, and that Jane is off again. A jet setter that one. Honestly... I do not know.

  6. francesca: trade or career school.
    specifically career-oriented (formación profesional in spanish and probably s/thing similar in italian, right?)

  7. Are you going to use the same disciplinary methods as my school? If so, they will probably be very surprised in Amsterdam.

  9. ian, this is amsterdam; easy does it. even though they are a handful and could do with some discipline, some of them.

    gracias "y'all" but no, I'm never très chic. trying to look presentable by the end of the day, that is the main aim :)

  15. oh, you will be a great English teacher, just remember to always put in at least several doses of your very own Ninja humor. You'll get plenty of forgiveness on any small grammar mistakes if you keep things funny:)))
    And be sure to show off your shoes!
    really, Good luck and all the best, thanks for sharing!

  16. I feel certain you'll be a good English teacher as you have a great sense of humor. Nothing like laughing at oneself with the students. Wish I was there so you could improve my Dutch ~ I have a terribly laughable English accent.

    Cheers~
