Holding a 120 hour TEFL qualification, I am currently teaching in Vietnam at a mix of public primary, secondary and high schools. I thoroughly enjoy this, and the variety of lessons to plan, as well as seeing the students progress from week to week. When planning lessons, I tailor these to the student's abilities as well as I can whilst following a set curriculum, and am sure to include games and activities that break down the students' resistance to learning what can initially feel like a very challenging language! I use a variety of props, games, quizzes and try to make lesson content as relevant to students, and as fun and educational as possible. I am very patient in my role, and seek to correct students pronunciation when necessary, or any errors, whilst still praising their progress and ensuring to the best of my ability that they realise mistakes are part of learning, and feel inspired to keep going.

Before teaching, I worked in theatre as a Development Assistant, raising funds for our young people's programmes, and organising events to bring people to the theatre. In this role, I also sharpened my literacy skills, as I did at university, achieving a First in English and Creative Writing (BA). Whilst in this role, I was also volunteering at Ministry of Stories, a London-based organisation that sought to encourage children not only to read well, but to write their own stories and use their imagination for good. Here, I was a facilitator-volunteer, primarily working with children aged between 6-10 years old, and also supervised some storyboarding workshops for secondary school aged children around different, typically gothic, themes. This was a role where my creativity was of service to others, and I saw children grow in confidence, which was extremely rewarding. In addition, I edited letters written from “monsters” to the students (Monster Mail), and I think this creativity goes a long way in making English feel more accessible, fun and useful for students. This in turn helps students open up and participate more in class.

Additionally, I have a background in customer service roles, which enabled me to better my communication. In my current teaching role, I teach several different schools and several different age groups at a time, often managing classes of up to 45 students. I am skilled at thinking on my feet when a planned activity isn't working for one class, and am keen to improve, discussing with other teachers ways they have navigated certain topics, vocabulary, or speech points that are hard for students to grasp. I reflect on the quality of a lesson and student engagement and optimise when beneficial for students. I enjoy finding solutions and I believe that my role as a teacher is to encourage students as well as correct them, make learning fun, and foster a sense of pride in their work, and confidence in their skills.

I would love to expand on my existing teaching experience and build a meaningful career teaching English abroad.

Many thanks for your consideration

I have been working with students younger than me ever since high school. I love being able to work with youth and give them guidance to help them achieve their goals. Currently, my full-time job is working with students in 6th-10th grade, helping them fine tune their skills that will be necessary in high school and college. I have created courses and used pre-made courses and I am able to adapt to the situation to make sure that I can get the message through the to the students. I also work with elementary students, I teach contemporary dance, so I am helping them move their bodies in ways they are not used to, but also making it fun for them.

I have a keen interest in travelling and have been to many different countries, including Korea, where I visited Seoul and Busan. Since I arrived back home, I often say to my friends and family that I wish I were still there. I embrace other cultures' food, scenery and enjoy meeting local people.
I am a highly patient and kind individual, eager to interact and engage with others. My adaptability allows me to seamlessly adjust to new environments and meet the diverse needs of the people I work with. I am always happy to initiate conversations, offer help, and actively participate to ensure a positive and supportive atmosphere. I believe these qualities are essential for building rapport and effectively guiding students in an EFL setting.
As a British man from Oxford, I can share valuable insights into my culture and UK daily life.

I have experience organising church youth group sessions and planning fun activities for them to take part in. I also have experience teaching young children Tae-kwon-do and Karate.

Hello! I am a passionate ecology and environmental education professional looking to make a positive impact on our environment and community. Throughout my 4 years of work experience in science communication and education, I have focused on bridging the gap between technical science concepts and language and transforming them into accessible, easy to understand content for all age groups. I love using creative ways to teach people and make them excited about new topics.

My biggest strengths are adaptability, compassion, and my deep understanding of specialized topics which allows me to explain them to anyone, no matter their experience level. I have worked teaching STEM topics (math and science) from a Pre-K to university level, so I am familiar with various types of students, their obstacles to understanding, and how to help them become the best student they can be.

In order to receive my degrees in science topics, I achieved a high level of English writing and critical reading ability, which, combined with my Teaching English as a Foreign Language certificate, makes me feel confident and comfortable leading English language courses.

Other skills include artistic ability, which I often use to create educational materials and memorable activities.

Overall, I am a curious, understanding, and dedicated person, which translates not only into my love of teaching and education, but also my perspectives in the world.
