What I'm looking for

I am looking for a job in data entry and management. I am a digital nomad and need a portable job.

I am a certified and degree-qualified ESL teacher with extensive experience across all levels and age groups. My commitment to delivering high-quality instruction is evident in my work with both children and adults, focusing on exam preparation and academic English. I have a strong background in teaching and administration, which allows me to create effective lesson plans and materials tailored to the needs of my students.

Throughout my career, I have held various teaching positions, including Senior Teacher at StudyRoom Educational Center and Lecturer at Kazakh National Technical University. I have successfully prepared students for exams such as IELTS, TOEFL, SAT, and GRE, utilizing diverse teaching methodologies to enhance learning outcomes. My collaborative approach with fellow educators has led to the development of comprehensive courses and syllabi, ensuring a cohesive learning experience for all students.
