What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can deliver learner-centered ESL or vocational instruction, collaborate with colleagues, and support students' progress while growing professionally.

I am a licensed professional teacher with experience across secondary, vocational, and online ESL teaching, committed to supporting student growth through clear instruction and practical learning strategies.

I have taught learners of varied ages—from young children to adult professionals—delivering CEFR-aligned, immersive English lessons and vocational training that prepare students for competency assessments and national certifications.

My practice emphasizes personalized feedback, real-time corrective guidance, and learner-centered methodologies; I also integrate digital tools for engagement and track progress to inform instruction.

I collaborate with colleagues to share knowledge and continuously improve my teaching, and I hold a Professional Teaching License, National Certificate II, and Trainers Methodology 1 certification.
