Summary

I am a qualified English educator with over eight years of international online teaching experience, holding a Bachelor of Education degree with majors in English and English Literature, as well as a 120-hour TEFL certification. Throughout my career, I have taught both English Language Arts (ELA) and English as a Second Language (ESL) to students of all ages, abilities, and cultural backgrounds, helping learners develop strong reading, writing, speaking, and critical thinking skills. My experience spans one-to-one and group instruction, working with learners from early childhood through to adults across a wide range of proficiency levels. I specialise in academic reading and writing, literary analysis, grammar, guided reading, and evidence-based writing, while adapting my teaching approach to meet each student's individual needs and learning goals. In addition to teaching, I have served as a Teacher Trainer, mentoring educators, conducting lesson evaluations, supporting curriculum implementation, and helping teachers develop effective online teaching strategies. This leadership experience has strengthened my expertise in instructional design, classroom management, and student engagement. Having taught exclusively online for more than eight years, I am highly proficient in delivering engaging virtual lessons and using a variety of online teaching platforms, including ClassIn, Zoom, Google Classroom, and other interactive learning technologies. I am confident in creating dynamic, student-centred lessons that foster confidence, curiosity, and measurable academic progress. I am passionate about helping students become confident English communicators while developing the analytical and critical thinking skills they need to succeed in both academic and real-world settings.
