What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that allows me to inspire students and foster their language skills in a supportive environment.

I am a passionate Cambridge English Teacher with extensive experience in guiding high school ESL learners through their language journey. My teaching philosophy centers on creating an inspiring and supportive environment where students can thrive. I have successfully prepared students for A2, B1, and B2 Cambridge qualifications, utilizing a dynamic teaching style that incorporates global topics and personal interests to foster cultural awareness.

Throughout my career, I have delivered engaging lessons that focus on integrated skills, ensuring that students are well-prepared for their exams. My approach includes using mock tests, guided writing, and ongoing formative assessments to monitor progress and provide targeted support. I believe in building an inclusive classroom atmosphere that encourages participation and confidence, collaborating with colleagues to maintain consistency in content delivery and assessment.
