I am open minded and happy to be placed any location, being adaptable in nature – I love immersing myself in new culture and meeting people. Being confident in versatile social and professional environments, I enjoy new learning experiences.
My approach to teaching is routed in my drama and theatre background, with a Masters in Playwriting – I have delivered drama workshops in a multitude of settings, including: schools, universities, community centres, and with young people who's first language is not English. I believe drama is a brilliant way to engage learners, and an essential communicative tool.
My teaching style is person centred: I believe that creating a structured, compassionate, and inspiring teaching space, any learner can find their potential to excel. I am comfortable creating visually stimulating classes but know the importance of teaching the core principles of the lesson. I have experience creating lesson plans for large scale classes, with numbers exceeding 70, and one to one. I have taught classes in the UK, Nepal, and Uganda. With a Masters of Letters from University of Glasgow, I have taught classes in schools, colleges, universities, and community settings. I have experience teaching english to people who have recently arrived in the UK, and have worked with Scottish Refugee Council to teach English.
Teaching is thrilling. I enjoy helping learners to make their own discoveries. I am passionate that education is a pathway to empowerment, and I love that I can play a part in transforming someone’s life for the better. I am also fascinated by languages and gain a huge amount of knowledge just by teaching others. I certainly thrive from teaching young people because I find their imaginations to be unlimited.
In my free time, I love trying new food, cooking, and meeting new people where I might learn something new. I am a huge fan of the outdoors, as a runner, cyclist, and climber. I really love exploring new countries.
