Anthony Conte
@anthonyconte
Experienced TEFL teacher and security operations leader specializing in inclusive instruction and live-event management.
What I'm looking for
I am an experienced TEFL/TESOL teacher and educator with a strong background in creating personalized lessons and materials for diverse learners, including neuro-divergent students. I hold a 180-hour TEFL certification and have delivered remote instruction across Costa Rica, the Dominican Republic, and virtual platforms.
My teaching emphasizes grammar, pronunciation, listening, writing, and speaking, and I design exams, quizzes, and reading samples to measure progress. I have tutored students of all ages (6–65) and supported special education learners with structured, evidence-based approaches.
Alongside education, I bring 20+ years of leadership in security operations, live event production, and venue management, having led touring security teams, managed club and venue operations, and supervised staff across multiple states. I have coordinated logistics for 50–200+ live performances and maintained zero-incident records for high-risk events.
I am also an experienced content creator, voice actor, and radio/station manager with skills in broadcast technology, audio engineering, digital engagement, and customer support. I combine pedagogical care with operational reliability to support learners and live-event teams effectively.
