Summary

I'm a qualified educator and professional Communications Consultant with nine years of teaching experience in China. I taught across all age groups namely kindergarten, Primary School, High School and adults leaners. I have both online and in-class teaching skills and classroom management skills. I am PGCE certified, with a TEFL Diploma, Business English Certificate (currently studying online) and a Bachelor of Science Degree in Environmental Studies. This diverse background in Science and Education places me in a unique position to apply interdisciplinary knowledge and insights in my teaching and pedagogical planning and lesson implementation. My philosophy is that students should be inquiry-based learners, global thinkers and open-minded as they apply what they learn in real life to solve real problems. I have successfully trained teachers in classroom language development and communication and workplace English, participated in Toastmasters English corner and public speaking as well as hosted English corner discussions for adult learners. I have experience in online Oral and Conversational English instruction and I'm equipped to take on Business and corporate English lesson and curriculum design plans and language learning support and development programs.
