What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can lead teacher development, design curriculum/LMS content, deliver workshops, and support academic quality in collaborative, growth-oriented teams.

I am a Senior Teacher with over a decade of experience in English as a Second Language instruction, having taught across institutions such as ILA Vietnam, Everest Education, IDP Education, The British Council, and university settings. I have delivered over 4,000 teaching hours across all proficiency levels, led IELTS and corporate training, and produced curriculum and LMS content improvements.

As a mentor and facilitator I regularly deliver workshops, conduct pop-in and formal observations, support teacher induction and professional development, and collaborate with local and international staff on facilities, IT, placement testing, and student re-enrolment. I bring prior experience in architectural design and training, published a travel memoir, and continue to develop professionally through standardized training and cross-department projects.
