I am currently working at a secondary school (ages 11-16) in the United Kingdom primarily as a Learning Support Assistant. I also teach a couple of students EAL in one-to-one lessons and have covered some small groups in this subject. From these, I have experience planning my own lessons.
From working with lots of students in different situations, I have quickly adapted to learning how each individual students learns best. I believe this is a good skill to have in order to help students get the most out of their education.

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.

Organised, good communicator, creative, work well as an individual and also in a team.

I have over 3 years teaching experiences. I started my teaching journey in 2019 working for SMARTPREP which is a private tutoring company . On the other hand, my online ESL teaching began in 2021. Both of these teaching have taught me good communication skills, adaptability, patience and a good listener. I have such a bubbly personality which makes me to be approachable, and it's to build a rapport with my students. Also, makes students to engage with me freely which is an important part of learning. My skills includes good communications and listening skills. Moreover, I am a patient and confident person.

I am a people person who loves the idea of experiencing somthing new, someone ready to take on challenges and conquer them. I am good at team working through past jobs as well as single work and leading. I have had to work under pressure and consider time limits when at work. I have a clear voice and a joy to learn.

This past year, I have been working as an ESL teacher in Thailand, as well as an online English tutor for students around the world. I taught English, Mathematics, Science, Health, Computer, and Social Studies to grades 3, 4, 5, and 6. I am an extroverted and optimistic individual who seeks adventure and challenges. As a natural-born leader, I am highly skilled at communicating with others and solving any problems that come my way. Helping others is my highest priority, and it brings me joy to use my talents and skills for the greater good of my community.
