Always try... and do it.
I am an English Professor who has always been working in administrative areas of education. I was the former academic director of the Hotel School of Venezuela and during that time I used to be in contact with many enterprises, mainly hotels. I also got a Master and a PhD in Linguistics in my university. My main research line is Discourse Analysis in the hospitality industry. I have been working as a full time teacher at Universidad de los Andes in Merida, Venezuela since 2002, there I was the Director of the School of Modern Languages during 5 years. From september 2013 until now I have been also researching in Autonomy and preparing an online course for English I students.
Work Terms
As I am already a full time professor at the university, I may work about six/eight hours per week and have to work from home.
