English and language teacher with IELTS coaching and curriculum experience.
What I'm looking for
I am an English and language educator who has taught conversational English, reading, writing, and listening across primary and secondary levels. I coached learners for IELTS exams, focusing mostly on the speaking part of the test, while preparing lesson plans, speaking tests, and grading students.
Beyond classroom teaching, I bring disciplined training and assessment habits developed from years in professional kitchens and leadership roles. I have worked with the Cambridge International Curriculum and taught Science and Maths, and I also supported exchange students preparing for studying abroad.
