Hello!

Hello! My name is Gail. I am from and live in The Bahamas. I am a marine biologist with degrees in Environmental Technology/Aquaculture and Oceanographic Technology. I have been teaching about environmental issues to adults and youth for over 30 years. I love talking to people and helping them to speak English. I know basic Spanish and a very little bit of French. I would love to meet you.

I founded an environmental education NGO (non governmental organization) that teaches about environmental issues in 1988. It is called EARTHCARE. I have worked in film, broadcasting and science. The Pirates of the Caribbean films were the most fun. I also have Diploma in International Environmental Law from Unitar. I regularly take courses with Cornell University. I have completed Network Climate Action, E-STEM Education. I am a Cornell University Climate Change Fellow. I have a Certificate in Grant Writing for Civil Society and Community Based Organisations from the GEF Small Grants Programme and the University of The Bahamas. I completed Environmental Education: Trans-disciplinary approaches to Addressing Wicked Problems with Cornell University, University of Bristol, University of Wisconsin, Rhodes University, University of Gothenburg. I received the Expert Certificate and was a Community Group Leader. I also received the Expert Certificate and was a Community Leader for Cornell University's Reclaiming Broken Places: Introduction to Civic Ecology. I received my Certificate from National Research Tomsk State University in Biological Diversity (Theories, Measures and Data Sampling Techniques). I received my Bahamas Nature tour Guide Certificate from the Ministry of Tourism & Aviation and the Bahamas National Trust.

Teaching Style

My teaching style is to assist the student with proper use of the English language but in a conversational manner. We would have a conversation and I will help the student wherever they may have difficulty. I believe the Cambly Lessons and Engoo articles are a valuable source of grammar and new vocabulary as well as a great source for conversations!
