I teach engaging English lessons and inspire creative expression through film.
VietnamWhat I'm looking for
I'm currently teaching students from Kindergarten through high school at ILA Vietnam in Ho Chi Minh City, creating engaging lesson plans, games, content, and activities.
Previously, I taught secondary English with EMG Education across Ho Chi Minh City, assessing sixth- and seventh-grade student progress and following tailored lessons. In Paris, I also led film workshops and masterclasses in screenwriting, directing, editing, and cinematography for diverse audiences.
With a TEFL certification, Illinois teaching license, MFA in Film, and background in general education, I bring language arts, visual storytelling, and creative expression into the classroom.
