What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can teach or support ESL learners through engaging, well-planned lessons, inclusive guidance, and hands-on activities—while collaborating with a friendly team and growing as I take on new responsibilities.

I’m an English language teacher with experience supporting students ages 7–18 and adults, creating and planning lessons, and logging activities and lessons in an online portal. I bring a friendly, structured approach—building routines that help learners stay engaged and progress confidently.

Alongside teaching, I’ve supported special needs and disabilities, directed people during busy events, and coordinated community activities by organizing volunteers and running day-of operations. I’m at my best in roles that combine mentorship, clear communication, and hands-on problem solving—where I can help people feel welcome and supported while delivering great results.
