I have been involved in Education since I was born.  My mother is both a Literature and Spanish teacher, while my father is a doctor. Growing up, books were all over the house, and I developed a natural appreciation for knowledge and hard work.  Education has allowed me to exercise different professional roles as a teacher, marketing manager and school director.  The languages I speak have allowed me to understand and respect different cultures. We, at CET Vancouver, have a team of professionals with multilingual and multicultural experiences, we understand students as we understand ourselves as growing human beings. It is difficult to recognize ourselves and the world around us in a global environment in which technology is impacting our lives in ways that we have never imagined before, and at a pace that is challenging us more and more. In today's world knowledge becomes obsolete in matters of months. We understand this challenging new world for students and, at CET Vancouver, are honored with your trust in us, especially since we share a common mission in helping you grow as a person and as a professional.

Cameron has called Vancouver home for the past two years after teaching English in Seoul, South Korea the previous eight years. He is the third generation of his family to choose teaching as his profession.  In his ten years of teaching ESL, there is no better feeling than watching his students grow in confidence and fluency while using a second language.  Having lived abroad in Korea for so long, he loves hearing about his students' experiences of learning and living in a different culture.  Cameron was in the French Immersion program from kindergarten until graduating high school so he speaks English, French and now understands Korean.  This makes him sensitive to the struggles students face learning a new language. He is excited to meet, learn from and teach new students from all over the world.

Shane was born and grew up in Edmonton Alberta, Canada. During his primary and secondary schooling he became keen about history and culture. His interest in these subject areas was the reason he majored in Social Studies and minored in English while working towards his Bachelor of Education Degree at the University of Alberta. Within months of graduating from university, Shane packed up his belongings and moved to South Korea to begin exploring the many diverse cultures he was interested in. During his time in South Korea Shane worked as an English teacher for two different English Academies as well as for the Seoul Metropolitan Board of Education, where he helped write the English Curriculum for the world’s second largest city. In between his contracts in Korea, Shane went travelling to many countries in East Asia, South America, Europe, and the Caribbean. During his travels Shane studied various languages, including Korean and Spanish. He also studied German in High School and University. While travelling Shane was most interested in exploring and learning about the everyday lives of individuals in the culture, preferring to travel by local buses and motorcycles rather than with a tour. During these experiences Shane learned about the many ways language and culture influence people, and he has taken these lessons to heart. Shane applies this understanding to his teaching now that he has returned to Canada and settled in Vancouver. He hopes that students will take the opportunity of living in Vancouver to not only learn a language, but also learn about many cultures!
