What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to inspire students and foster their love for the English language while providing opportunities for professional development.

I am an English Language teacher with over ten years of experience, having taught both internationally and in the UK. My expertise spans General English, English for Academic Purposes (EAP), Business English, and IELTS preparation, delivered through both face-to-face and online formats. I am deeply passionate about the English language and committed to supporting my students in their learning journeys.

Throughout my career, I have demonstrated a strong ability to engage students and foster a positive learning environment. My recent role as an EFL Teacher and Academic Mentor at The Language Gallery Birmingham involved preparing students for a British Council inspection, where we received commendations for our teaching quality. I have also contributed to the academic success of international students as a Pre-Sessional EAP Lecturer at Manchester Met University, equipping them with essential academic skills for their postgraduate studies.
