The Palm Of Deborah
@thepalmofdeborah
I coordinate adult English programs, teach ESL, and build community-focused learning and communication systems.
What I'm looking for
I coordinate the English Bridge Program at Refugee Network Centre, managing six proficiency levels, teacher assignments, examinations, curriculum objectives, and academic records for adult refugee learners.
I also teach adult ESL across elementary through intermediate levels, creating lessons, assessments, and tailored materials for multilingual, mixed-ability students. My teaching draws on student-centered, communicative approaches and familiarity with Pearson SpeakOut, Cambridge Ventures, and Oxford Let’s Go curricula.
Alongside education, I bring experience in community representation, administration, recruitment support, telemarketing, digital content creation, and online tutoring. I represent South Sudanese refugee communities with UNHCR and partner NGOs, advocate for protection and education, and use writing and social platforms to support community engagement.
