In the summer of 2018 I received a Master’s degree in Taiwan and Asia Pacific Studies from Tamkang University, and successfully undertook a CELTA course soon afterwards. I completed a 120 hour TEFL course in 2012, and graduated in 2002 with a Bachelor’s degree in History.
Between February and December 2020 I worked as a Learning Support Assistant at the London Nautical School. I assisted teachers with students who were in a number of different academic years, in a range of subjects. Students at this school came from a range of social and cultural backgrounds. I was responsible for helping students with learning difficulties, and those whose first language wasn’t English. I taught them reading, conversation and grammar skills. I also assisted teachers in managing and teaching entire classes of students.
Before this I was a History teacher for a number of Year 7, 8, 9, and 10 classes at St Albans Girls' School. Students at this school come from a range of social and cultural backgrounds. The school works hard to improve attainment in numeracy and literacy and has clear teaching methods in place to achieve this. The head of department produced lesson plans which all other teachers could use, but from the beginning I made changes to these, and added my own material, in order to adapt them to my own style of teaching.
I have extensive experience in teaching English, as a result of being employed as an English Editor at Kasetsart University in Bangkok, Thailand, between 2012 and 2015. My job at this organisation required me to conduct instruction in a wide range of different courses, and to interact with diverse groups of students. I am confident that I can apply the experience I have gained to any given classroom environment.
I have also worked at the Imperial War Museum in London in a voluntary capacity at weekends. This involved helping to make the exhibits easy to appreciate and use for visitors of all nationalities and sharing the expertise that I have built up regarding this period of history. This allowed me to share my passion for history with others.
I am a highly skilled and enthusiastic ESL teacher with 9 years of experience in developing engaging lesson plans and curriculum for students of all ages. My expertise includes classroom management, personalized learning programs, and innovative educational techniques. Through teaching diverse students in various age groups and settings, I have honed my communication, creativity, and motivational skills. I am passionate about fostering collaborative and engaging learning environments that inspire productive, thoughtful, and accomplished students.
Highlights of my qualifications:
- Developed targeted curriculum and planned instructional programs for diverse students in subjects such as career development, reading and writing, language skills, and software programs.
- Effectively and compassionately communicated with students from different cultural and linguistic backgrounds, supporting them in overcoming assimilation challenges.
- Incorporated individual schools' philosophies and academic objectives into lessons while maintaining creativity and flexibility.
- Earned recognition from students, parents, and peers as a disciplined and insightful educator, building meaningful connections with learners and families to ensure optimal learning experiences.
I provide lessons in Mathematics and Further Mathematics for all levels of secondary education including GCSE, IGCSE and A Level. I also tutor EFL for all ages.
I have 5 years’ experience tutoring students from diverse linguistic backgrounds and from this I have been able to promote language proficiency and cultural understanding.
A a result, many of my previous students have reached a high level of competency which has enabled them to develop confidence in unfamiliar scenarios.
