I am a 27 year old English native with a university degree in English Literature and Creative Writing. I have completed a 80-hour TEFL Teaching Course and have four years of teaching experience in Spain, teaching all levels and ages, especially B2, C1 and C2 Cambridge exam preparation. Moreover, I am a certified Cambridge speaking examiner for levels B2 and C1.
My personality is confident, out-going and friendly and I thrive on meeting new people and I have experience working with people from all walks of life. I have a fantastic rapport with all of my students as I always try to be enthusiastic, positive and engaging in class. As well as centring my classes around the core curriculum, I always make sure to provide my own touch of dynamism and creativity to the classes.

I currently work in one of the most competitive industries in the UK, the Financial Services Industry. This experience has shaped my knowledge and skills hugely. For example, I manage large projects to bring new business opportunities, which require high levels of dedication, hard work and creativity. I believe that these skills are transferable to a teaching position as I will be looking after various students and it is my responsibility to ensure they are progressing educationally. Therefore, I would need to put a specific set of skills together to make this happen, such as the skills mentioned previously.

Furthermore, I can adapt well when faced with change. This is because I see this from a positive point of view in that change can present a new learning opportunity. I take the same outlook when faced with issues and in fact, I tend to keep my cool as this will keep me focused to find a solution. Overall, I can manage different situations with confidence, and I am aware that being a teacher can bring various situations on a day-to-day basis.

I grew up bilingual, speaking both English and French, and have always loved languages, as I believe they are a way to open yourself to a new culture and experiences.
Having studied abroad, I have experienced English lessons as a native speaker, and had an outside understanding of how ESL classes are conducted.
I studied English language, litterature and civilisation at University and then went on to complete a TEFL certification with TEFL.org. Although I have not taught English to students (outside of the TEFL course) yet, I have experience with working with children as a dance teacher.
I am a friendly and compassionate person, and although I can seem quiet when I first meet new people, I adapt very quickly to new situations.

Hi this is Antonella. I am fun-loving, friendly and goal-oriented. Striking a conversation with a stranger can be fun and engaging that works easy for me. Learning another culture and language interests me the most. And this lead me to cultivate my passion in Teaching English. For more than 15 years now, my extensive career in online ESL teaching gave me the opportunity to hone my skills with the following Certifications: TESOL certified Educator and TEFL with TEYL.
I also love to travel. Having a conversation or just meeting new people of different backgrounds can be fun and engaging as well. My personality speaks of being inspired to face up to challenges and adhere to enhance my capabilities and skills in teaching my favorite subject that is English. I make sure each class is fun and engaging. The greatest achievement si when a student, regardless of level (Elementary, Middle and High School, University and Professionals) would email or acknowledge my efforts when they give their Praise reports – “Teacher, I passed my English test! / I did it – Take one in IELTS with a score of 6.5 or 7. And this is more than rewarding for me as an e-Educator.
During my spare time, you would find me in the kitchen preparing a dish or a meal for my family and some friends. Long drives to the beach is what I love the most and I make sure that this happens once every month. Lastly, I find pleasure in making new friends and having a healthy lifestyle. But most important is spending quality time for yourself and those you love. Carpe Diem – Seize the day.

I have taught English formally in a school setting (Italian students) in the past and more recently on-line with both Chinese and Korean students.

I am a British citizen, so a native English speaker, and also a university graduate with a B.A. Honours Degree in History.
My academic qualifications also include GCSE O-Level and A-Level in English Language.

I have travelled extensively in the past, including periods living and working in both the USA – New York State and New Jersey – for 6 months and also in Germany – Berlin – for 2 years.
So I am quite comfortable living outside of my own culture and can adapt to new environments easily.

Being a mature professional with a lot of life experience, I can bring this as a benefit to any teaching environment.

I also have a lot of work experience, 29 years working the in the NHS – the Health Service in England, so I am used to being organised, responsible and prioritising my time and workload. These are all qualities I can bring to any teaching role.

I have been a grade 6 teachers assistant and a private Mathematics tutor. As a teachers assistant I helped plan lessons and graded tests and exams. I enjoy teaching children as well as young adults. I really enjoy seeing my students excel and become more confident in learning and using English. My strengths are that I am organized, patient and I love to use creative teaching techniques that include singing and dancing.

As a former tutor and dance instructor, I have a lot of experience in interacting with young students. I maintained positive relationships with the parents and caretakers of my students, and still am in contact with several of them. I'm extremely adept at breaking the barrier between student and instructor, creating a learning environment in which my students are able to be comfortable asking questions and growing. In general, I believe it is important for students to enjoy the education process, as it'll make them be excited to return and cause them to become invested in their own education. My personality as a teacher is geared towards this, as I truly want my students to be able to grow.

I am a hardworking and reliable person, who strives to complete every task to a high standard and quality. The knowledge and experience I have gained from working at a Middle School and two different Elementary Schools’ for a year has equipped me with a range of skills that allow me to thrive. Such as, excellent time keeping and a high level of commitment, together with an organized and enthusiastic approach to work. I enjoy being kept busy whether working alone using my own initiative or as a key member within a busy team.
