What I'm looking for

I'm looking for an English teaching role where I can deliver engaging online or in-person lessons, support diverse learners with personalized instruction, and help students build conversational fluency, pronunciation, and confidence.

I've taught English at Rhino Online Academy, delivering weekly live lessons for international students focused on conversational fluency and accent reduction.

I use Zoom and ClassIn to run interactive virtual classrooms, encouraging learners to engage with material before live discussions. My approach makes learning accessible and fun while using personalized scaffolding to support student progress.

At Ebenezer Academy, I taught immersive English and Chinese lessons to groups of 13+ young learners, contributing to a 20% improvement in end-of-term assessment scores.

I'm experienced in lesson planning for mixed-ability classes and coaching learners in Business English, interview preparation, pronunciation, and accent reduction using phonetics and IPA.
