What I'm looking for

I’m looking for roles that challenge my teaching and research—student-centred English instruction with opportunities for growth through adaptable pedagogy, cross-cultural engagement, and meaningful impact.

I’m a dynamic, student-centred English educator with a track record spanning in-person university instruction and remote international teaching across three continents. I currently teach at FAST University while deepening my academic expertise through an MPhil in English Literature.

I build authentic rapport with students, unlock engagement through tailored pedagogy, and produce measurable outcomes—diagnosing learning styles and adapting instruction to drive consistent writing improvement. I thrive on environments that push boundaries, demand adaptability, and create meaningful impact, including roles that balance teaching with intellectual growth and postgraduate research.
