What I'm looking for

I’m looking to create interactive English and literacy learning experiences for young children, using learner-centred teaching and digital tools to build confidence, communication skills, and academic success.

I've taught English, literacy, and numeracy to children aged 3–9 as a freelance online tutor, creating customized lessons around each learner’s needs and proficiency level.

I use Kahoot, YouTube, quizzes, Zoom, Google Classroom, and other interactive tools to make learning engaging, strengthen attendance, and help learners progress in English.

At Dominion Special Choice Tutors, I delivered English instruction for early primary learners, developed assessments and progress reports, and supported digital learning adoption. Previously, I coordinated academic schedules, records, discipline, attendance, and parent communication as a School Administrator at Harvest Model International School.

With more than seven years of classroom and online teaching experience, I’m passionate about phonics, literacy development, learner-centred instruction, and helping children from diverse backgrounds build communication skills and academic confidence.
