What I'm looking for

I seek a role teaching English where I can design engaging lessons, support adult learners’ goals, work in a collaborative, culturally respectful environment, and use technology for effective online or blended instruction.

I am a dedicated ESL teacher with three years of private tutoring experience and a TEFL Certificate (Teacher Record, 2025). I design interactive, communicative lessons that prioritize conversational fluency, pronunciation, grammar, and practical writing skills for beginner to intermediate learners.

My approach is student-centered: I tailor materials and activities to individual goals, provide consistent feedback and progress tracking, and adapt teaching styles to diverse learning needs. I have experience delivering lessons both online and in-person.

Prior to tutoring, I worked as an Assistant Health Officer at the Ministry of Health and Wellness, where I developed community education, presentation, and reporting skills that enhance my classroom communication and lesson planning.

I am committed to creating a positive, culturally sensitive learning environment that helps adult learners improve English for workplace, travel, and everyday communication, while remaining organized, reliable, and tech-savvy in virtual and blended settings.
