Ricardo's Introduction

My name is Ricardo Korkee, and I hail from Cape Town, South Africa. My teaching career is over 20 years, with 12 years spent in Saudi Arabia. I majored in Languages and History, and a teaching career focusing on English Language Arts and Social Studies (Sciences), or just History. Like most educators, I am very passionate about teaching and working with students, and I also firmly believe, that this is not just a career choice, but a calling.
