Hello, I’m Paul T. Walker and I am a certified English as a Second Language educator (University of Calgary). I am certified to teach Business English and IELTS test preparation. Born in London, Ontario Canada, but currently reside in Calgary, Alberta Canada. I established my English education company called “English for Today”. I tutor adult professionals ranging from Oil & Gas (CEO) to the Financial industries (Financial Planner). I have spent the last 8 years teaching English in Shanghai and Hanzhong, China, to children between the ages of 6 to 17 years old. This program included bringing Chinese students from China to Calgary on an English Study tour. I participate in community programs to promote ESL through volunteer work with The Centre for Newcomers, Calgary Public Library Conversation Group and the Mentorship program at Bow Valley College. I am an active member of Alberta Teachers of English as a Second Language (ATESL).
My goal as an ESL Educator is to inspire and encourage real world confident communication that is relevant to the learners and their needs. Provide a sustainable and supportive learning environment with fun lessons that engage and support learners of all levels to realize their language dreams and ambitions. Meet interesting people, discover cultures and explore the world and myself wherever I go.
