What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that values creativity and effective communication, offering opportunities for professional growth and collaboration.

I am a dedicated TEFL teacher and virtual assistant with extensive experience in teaching English to diverse age groups and proficiency levels. My journey began with a 120-hour Advanced TEFL/TESOL Certificate from Global Language Training in the UK, which equipped me with the skills to effectively teach English as a second language. I have taught students in various countries, including China and Vietnam, specializing in exam preparation for IELTS, TOEFL, and Cambridge assessments.

In addition to my teaching experience, I have a strong background in transcription and editing, having worked with Way With Words in South Africa. My organizational skills and attention to detail have allowed me to excel in roles such as an executive assistant and project manager, where I managed international client relations and administrative tasks. I am passionate about fostering a positive learning environment and ensuring effective communication between clients and companies.
