What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a supportive, student-centered online role where I can teach ESL and Business English, plan engaging lessons, and deliver individualized support through feedback that builds fluency and confidence.

I’m a dynamic and dedicated online ESL teacher with a passion for helping students achieve fluency and confidence in English. I create engaging, student-centered lessons tailored to diverse learning styles and goals, and I’m committed to fostering a positive and supportive virtual classroom environment that encourages language growth and cultural exchange.

In my current and recent roles as an Online Business English/English Instructor, I teach Business English and General English across C1–A2 levels. I plan, prepare, and deliver online lessons, develop teaching materials, and help individuals improve their listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills through checking, assessing, and clear feedback.

Beyond teaching, I’ve built strong educational foundations through my work as a Librarian/Educator and as a Remedial English Educator and Assistant Librarian. I produced and organized teaching material (teaching Media Studies), coordinated children’s library operations, and supported online teaching of Grade 1 to Grade 7 learners during Covid-19.

I bring excellent written and verbal communication, strong organization, and a patient, committed, creative, and innovative teaching style to every session. With a TEFL/TESOL Certificate (TEFL Universal – 2022) and recognition through the Golden Key Honours Society, I approach learning with imagination and enthusiasm—always aiming for measurable progress and a confident learner experience.
