I am an English educator specializing in IELTS, admissions, and communication coaching.
What I'm looking for
I am a dynamic English language educator and academic mentor with extensive experience in curriculum design, student engagement, and integrating technology into lessons. I deliver targeted IELTS training, visa interview preparation, and admissions guidance for UK and US programs.
In my roles I have led classroom instruction, one-on-one mentoring, and online public speaking and creative writing coaching, while designing assessment methods and lesson plans for early years through adult learners. I have also managed UK admission workflows and prepared candidates for high-stakes visa interviews.
My achievements include top honors in nursery teacher training and strong academic placements, and I continually pursue professional development in TESOL/TEFL and AI in education to improve student outcomes and learning experiences.
