Hello! I have over 15yrs of experience with tutoring and training people of all ages in corporate settings and in the classroom. Although I can't formally call myself a teacher, I am and have always been passionate on educating people and providing them resources to help them better understand the subject. I consider myself dependable, understanding and extremely patient. I have skills that reach beyond educating as I'm an experienced IT professional as well, so I know my way around technology!

I am a patient, adaptable, and enthusiastic educator with a strong dedication to student growth and learning. As a TEFL-certified English instructor, I bring both professionalism and creativity to the classroom. My experience teaching listening, speaking, and writing to elementary and middle school students has strengthened my ability to engage learners of diverse abilities and backgrounds. I take pride in fostering a supportive learning environment where students feel confident to improve their English.

I worked as a preschool teacher for 8 years in my younger years. I have been in management where I would train people in a wide variety of positions. I used techniques that I feel are the same that I would use to teach students who are wanting to learn. I also worked as a Blackjack dealer where I dealt with different personalities on a minute-by-minute basis. I have the heart and desire to start this new career where I would hopefully be helping the next generation of young learners to become the best version of themselves.

I have experience working in customer facing jobs at hotels and golf clubs, as well as a bachelors degree in law. I am extroverted, a hard worker and have a passion for teaching English that comes from the literature I read growing up. I also have experience in public speaking and presenting.

I consider myself hardworking, approachable and kind, qualities that make me well suited to teaching. I am also patient, understanding and empathetic. Growing up with three younger brothers and attending an international boarding school with both older and younger pupils, I have met a variety of people throughout my life, and this allowed me to develop strong awareness of the different challenges students face at various stages of learning, both in their native and second languages. This allows me to support and relate to my students effectively. I am also confident and self-assured enough to maintain respect and authority in the classroom.

During secondary school and sixth form, I volunteered at local primary schools, teaching students aged 5-9 learn to read. As such I was exposed to a wide range of abilities and backgrounds, and this taught me how to adapt to best help each of these students. I also volunteered to teach dance classes to secondary school students aged 11-15 where I learned how to adjust my instructions for different skill levels and balance focused individual support with the needs of an entire classroom. These experiences strengthened my classroom management, communication, and time management skills.

My name is Caleigh De Luca. I hold a Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education with a concentration in Special Education (General Curriculum) from Georgia State University. I also hold a California Multiple Subject Teacher Certification.

For the past three and a half years, I have been teaching at Fulton Science Academy Private School, where I had the privilege of working with students from diverse cultural backgrounds. Prior to that, I gained experience in various classroom settings, which helped me develop a strong understanding of adapting my teaching style to meet the needs of different learners. I also have experience in South Korea international school with younger students. I specialize in designing and delivering engaging lessons tailored to meet the needs of all students. Additionally, I hold Gifted In-Field Certificate and STEM Education Endorsement.

With a diverse background that includes teaching at international schools and academies overseas, I have developed a strong sense of adaptability and a quick learning mindset. These qualities enable me to thrive in new environments and tackle challenges both inside and outside the classroom with confidence. As a firm believer that teachers are lifelong learners, I am committed to fostering meaningful connections with my students and creating a safe, engaging, and enjoyable learning environment where they can flourish.

In my current job at Chaucer College I quickly found a love for teaching and helping students from all different walks of life. I have also worked as an independant music teacher, with younger students too. Every week at work I have worked with people from different countries, teaching them English along the way, gaining many beautiful memories already. To describe myself, I would say I am as supportive as possible, and I like to make learning a fun and engaging experience. I do genuinely enjoy my work and my wish would be able to carry part of that over with me. This experience would not only be a good chance for students to learn off of me, but for me to learn off of them too. I realise that I may not be the most experienced candidate but I hope to bring a smile and level of work ethic that surpasses other candidates. Thank you for your consideration
