About Vincent
Upon graduation from Wake Forest University, I served four years as an officer in the U.S. Army in W. Germany during the Cold War. During this time, I obtained a masters degree from Boston University-Frankfurt Campus. After my military service, I was a group insurance account executive for nine years before my career in ESL began in 1996. I now have twenty-eight years of English as a Second Language (ESL) teaching experience at language institutes, secondary schools, and universities in South Korea, Thailand, Ecuador, United States, and Saudi Arabia. I have a TESOL Diploma from London Teacher Training College, and I obtained a Professional Educator’s Certificate from the State of Florida, Dept. of Education. Furthermore, in the past, I was employed for three years by Educational Testing Service (ETS) as a TOEFL-iBT Test Scorer.
Why do I coach?
I coach because I want to help students to pass the TOEFL and accomplish their academic goals.
