All my work experiences from the past 6 years have been centred around working with children and teenagers: day camp monitor, substitute teacher, student teacher, tutor, private teacher. All these experiences and my passion for the English language make me the ideal candidate to become an English teacher. I am lively, creative, reliable, compassionate, and patient.

Through my studies and experiences, I have developed my ability to create material and lesson plans, as well as effectively teach the material to the class and evaluate the students' learning.

Moreover, it solidified my belief in the importance of adaptable and innovative teaching methodologies, a mindset I am eager to bring to your programme.

In addition to my video editing mentorship role, I have completed 10 hours of classroom teaching practice, providing me with first-hand experience in delivering engaging and comprehensive lessons.

With a bachelor’s degree in Intercultural Fluency and a minor in Spanish, communication is a strong suit that I continue to practice throughout my career. Adding to this education is a 120 hour TEFL certificate that lets me exhibit leadership skills as well as personable experiences with others.

My first job right after graduated university was a customer service job for a small business. I was able to make relationships with customers beyond them simply being a consumer, as well as train new hires to get them used to the fast paced environment.

Patience was a strong suit of mine that was utilized greatly while at the customer service job but also at my current job with the Internal Revenue Service as a tax examining technician. For my current job, I am continually increasing my computer literacy, honing in my focus and attention to detail, as well as guiding my fellow co workers as well.

My career, though short so far has allowed me to come into the strengths such as effective communication with people of different backgrounds, patience and care for others, guiding others towards their goals, as well as being personable and hospitable. Most importantly, my career has taught me to be hard working and to never stop at improving, which is something that I plan to do with this career as well.

I have years of teaching experience, guiding the classroom and students with my friendly and approachable demeanor. I create a welcoming atmosphere where students feel comfortable expressing themselves. Patience and understanding is my strength, ensuring that every student feels supported and encouraged.
I like to simplify complex concepts, making them accessible to learners of all levels. I use creative lesson plans to keep classes lively and engaging, fostering a genuine enthusiasm for learning.
I have 120+ hours of TEFL/TESOL Certificate.
I am looking forward to learning more about this opportunity!
