What I'm looking for

I seek a role that values creativity in teaching and supports professional growth.

I am a passionate educator with over five years of experience teaching English as a foreign language, along with tutoring in various other languages. My journey in education has been driven by a love for languages and a commitment to helping students achieve their academic goals. I have consistently maintained a high pass rate of 90-99% for Trinity Speaking exams, demonstrating my effectiveness as a tutor.

Currently, I serve as the head of the KS3-4 English department at Chalk n Dusters tuition centre, where I not only teach but also support and mentor other tutors. My role involves meticulous lesson planning, student assessment, and ensuring a positive learning environment. I take pride in fostering strong relationships with my students, which has been key to their success and my own fulfillment as an educator.
