What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a supportive school where I can teach English and TOEIC Listening/Reading with student-centered, interactive lessons. I value clear goals, strong communication, and opportunities to help learners grow academically and personally.

I’m an English instructor with nearly four years of experience teaching both online and offline learners of different ages and skill levels. I design fun, interactive, supportive lessons tailored to each student’s needs and goals, with a strong focus on measurable progress.

For the past three years, I’ve specialized in teaching TOEIC, focusing on Listening and Reading skills. I create lessons that help students strengthen core language abilities while improving test-taking skills to reach their target scores.

I also serve as an academic adviser, helping students with academic and personal concerns and supporting their overall growth and success. As a PRC Licensed Professional Teacher and TEFL-certified educator, I’m committed to building an engaging learning environment where students feel encouraged to improve.
