What I'm looking for

I seek a role in language education or academic leadership where I can improve student outcomes, train teachers, use multimedia teaching, and contribute to a supportive school culture.

I am a hardworking, enthusiastic teacher with over eight years' experience teaching English and Akan (Asante Twi) to learners from children to adults, and I hold a BA (History | Akan) with First Class Honours and a Master's in Education (Leadership and Administration) awaiting certificate. I have taught in Ghana and Vietnam, developed curricula, prepared assessments, produced video-based homework and feedback, and led teacher training to raise instructional quality and student outcomes.

As Head of Academics I implemented educational strategies, managed teacher promotion and assessment, resolved stakeholder concerns professionally, and prepared reports for school leadership. I hold TEFL (120-hour) and CEFR C1 (British Council) certifications and bring classroom management, creative lesson design, conflict resolution, and computer literacy to roles focused on language teaching and academic leadership.
