Eternal Learning springs from an acknowledgement that lifelong learning is paramount to development and satisfaction in life.

A fascination with literature and language has naturally led to teaching with particular emphasis upon English as a Second Language instruction. Course specialties involve teaching a

broad spectrum of Tourism Classes, Marketing, Cooking Instruction and Hotel & Restaurant curricula.
