What I'm looking for

I seek teaching roles where I can combine TEFL and aviation expertise to help multilingual learners build professional English proficiency, with supportive culture and growth in curriculum development.

I am a TEFL-certified teacher and Certified Flight Instructor with experience teaching multilingual high school and aviation students. I guide international learners to improve comprehension, speaking, and confidence in professional English.

At Belmont High School I volunteered as an English tutor working with 15+ ESL students, helping them progress through LAUSD ELD levels 1–2. At Universal Air Academy I deliver aviation English instruction to students from China, South Korea, and the Middle East, improving comprehension of technical manuals and oral proficiency for flight exams.

My approach is patient, structured, and detail-oriented, emphasizing lesson planning, classroom management, exam preparation, and student assessment. I hold a TEFL certificate (120 hours) and an International Baccalaureate diploma.

I combine strong communication and cross-cultural experience with technical aviation qualifications — Commercial Single and Multi-Engine Land, Instrument Pilot, and Certified Flight Instructor — to support students for both academic and professional success.
