Thanks for the warning. As there are dirty schools out there, there surely are dirty teachers.

CV - Thomas Fitzpatrick

General. Available: 17 January 2006. Currently employed.

My current teaching position is in Eden, Yemen. The school (The American Language School)uses the Interchange and Passages books. I have taught at all except level 1 and am currently preparing students for the international TOEFL examination. (In Russia I used the Headway series of books and videos.)

I have been working as an analyst and programmer in the I.T industry for sixteen years. During this time I have taught management software concept. My experience of teaching English has been quite broad despite the relatively short time that I have spent teaching.

The other teachers, managers and students are constantly telling me that I am a good teacher. I seem to have a natural rapport with the students and I adapt to the culture of other countries quite quickly.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EMPLOYMENT HISTORY:

Worked as Analyst and programmer in I.T for 16 years.

Price Waterhouse and Cooper.
Ballsbridge Dublin
From 1980-1984
To begin with I was a trainee computer programmer and learn the techniques of structured programming and to follow strict standard procedure. At this company I had my first opportunity to
Teach and I did a lesson explaining basic computer concepts to non-I, T manager. The senior partner sent me a letter congratulating me on the quality of my teaching.

Cigna Worldwide Insurance
Crawley, Surrey, England
From 1985-1991
Cigna is one of the largest Insurance companies in the world. They insure everything you buy on an American Express card and also life, and travel insurance.
While working for them as a Senior Analyst programmer I gained experience teaching junior employees how to program computers. I also gave demonstrations of the system (MISTIC an international insurance system) to our customers (usually managers and even directors) and on one occasion I implemented the system in Copenhagen, Denmark training the staff in its use.
My analytical and programming skills were developed and I was responsible for most of the amendments to the system that was required by different countries in the world. This meant continual communication with countries such as Malaya, Spain, Denmark and the USA.
This office was the European centre while I worked there but the centre was moved to Brussels in Belgium and all the staff in our office were offered redundancy thus bringing my time there to an enforced end.

Freelance Consultant or Contractor
Location - various.
From 1992-2000
After my bad luck in being made redundant with Cigna I decided to go freelance which gave the opportunity to earn more money and also to travel.
i worked at various locations including Proton Motors (a Malaysian firm) in Avonmouth near Bristol in the west of England and for Standard Chartered Bank in the City of London. These and other roles gave me a great deal of confidence in dealing with other business people and an expansion of my business knowledge. Also, in the gaps between contracts I had the time and money to travel since I am not tried down by any family commitments.

Royal and Sun Alliance
College Green, Dublin 2, Ireland

i returned to my homeland in Ireland to take up this position because of the promise of training in the latest I.T. technologies and because the contract market was drying up after the famous year 2000 bug - which I helped fix in Jersey working for The Royal Bank of Canada on Main street St. Helier, Jersey for a six month contract.
At Sun Alliance I learned the latest internet software concepts, how to program in Java and how to design programs and systems using the Object Oriented Approach.

DECISION TO TEACH ENGLISH AS A FORIEGN LANUAGE
If you have read up to here you may be surprised that I then decided to take up teaching English
Especially as the pay is a fraction of what I was earning working in I.T. There is more than one reason for this decision. Firstly I have never been afraid to take risks and I wanted to expand my horizons and my skills. Also I have always been interested in teaching but lacked experience. Now I have taught business English both in Russia and Sudan and my students were pleasantly surprised by my in depth knowledge of so many aspects of business and, of course, I.T. I know it will take me few more years before I am a professional Business English teacher (and also teaching software concepts to non-native English speakers) but I also know that I have the ability and determined energy to achieve this ambition.
Meanwhile I am enjoying the challenge of travel, learning about other languages and cultures and improving my teaching skills.

Hello Olga.

This may sound strange but I'm only curious. What I read in your posting surprised me. I met Thomas, I can't say I really know him. Can you tell me more about him and him sleeping with you. If that's true he's disgusting!!!
Can you tell me names of other students in your class. When exactly was that?
Write to my mail :julianka_ivanova@yahoo.com

[julianka]

Olga, reply to me as soon as you can. I'm very interested in your thread on Thomas Fitzpatrick. If you don't, then I'll think what you wrote is a lie and you can't prove that you were actually his student. I told you I met him and know a few details.

[julianka]

Yeh, one big shameful lie!!!

[fitzpatrick_thomas]

This has got to be the funniest thing I have read in years.

I did not sleep with ANY students at the LONDON SCHOOL in SOCHI.(Russia.)

I shared a flat with a Portuguese woman teacher and she knew my every movement - we did not sleep together. I CAN PROVE ALL THIS.

This thread was obviously written by the Manager of the school - her English is terrible.

I complained about the school on Daves Website - the owner speaks no english, there were no beds in the flat, no blankets and no mattresses. You can see for yourself - also note that quite a few other teachers have complained about this school.

By the way, after I left the school all but one of the students in advanced class that I was teaching also left the school. Both teachers and students agreed that this is a terrible school.

Whoever wrote this is definitely very sick and also very stupid.

Only a complete fool would beleive it.

Also I am from Belfast NOT London. "My Irish Teacher"? (She did not even get the country right.)

I never used my middle name "Kane" while I was teaching at this school - so how did this "student" know it. Why has someone - who does not even know me - gone to the trouble of reproducing my CV ?
If they want to get me back for telling the truth about "The London School in Sochi" then they have gone about it in very clumsy way.
The gun has backfired and they have shot themselves in the foot.

Olga said "he gets drunk". Yet every single student at THE LONDON school in Sochi (and the other schools that I worked at) knows that I DO NOT DRINK ANY ALCHOHOL WHATSOEVER. I can bring at least a hundred witnesses to prove that this is true. As for taking drugs ? The people who own and run this school will stop at nothing to make a dishonest ruble.

"Olga" also says " I realy feel sorry that i believed him and people shouldn't belieive him." But Olga runs a mile when asked to produce the slightest evidence. So who should you beleive ? The compulsive liars who run the London School in Sochi ? To call them dogs is an insult to dogs.

Please also note that "Olga" (obviously not her real name) has grand total of TWO posts on this site and then - once confronted with her "disgusting lies" - has lost interest in the whole affair.
If I can prove who she(or he) is I will sue them for every ruble they have.

"Freedom of information. Don't you just love it!"

He who laughs last laughs loudest.

[julianka]

Good that we've made things clear.
In spite of everything I stick to the truth.
Don't have to thank me Thomas.
