ESL Teachers

I have six years of classroom teaching experience, during which I have delivered engaging, well‑structured lessons to learners with a wide range of abilities. My background includes curriculum development, safeguarding, pastoral care, and organizing enrichment opportunities such as international study trips to Italy and educational visits within the UK. I also have experience providing one‑to‑one online tuition, where I adapted content to individual needs and strengthened students’ academic language skills.

In terms of personality, I am warm, approachable, and student‑centered, with a calm and reliable presence in the classroom. I build strong relationships with learners and colleagues, bring a positive and proactive attitude to challenges, and thrive in collaborative environments.

My key skills include clear communication, adaptive teaching, and the ability to break down complex ideas into steps. I am confident in planning differentiated lessons, supporting student wellbeing, and creating inclusive learning environments. I also bring strong organizational skills, leadership experience, and proficiency with a wide range of digital tools for teaching, assessment, and resource creation.

I have over 25 years of experience teaching languages to students of all ages, from primary school through college. I love learning languages, and my students see this enthusiasm and cannot help but love the learning process as well. My classes are know for high retention rates and excellent student success.

I would describe my personality as lighthearted yet professional. I am warm and approachable, while also valuing structure, boundaries, and consistency in learning environments. I believe students respond best when they feel comfortable and supported, but also understand expectations and routines.

I am highly adaptable and comfortable working in new environments. Throughout my life, I have lived and worked in several countries, including moving from Haiti to the United States at a young age and later living in London, Sydney, and Korea. Each transition required adjusting to new cultures, communication styles, and professional expectations. These experiences helped me become flexible, observant, and respectful while building positive relationships with classmates, coworkers, and supervisors. I am comfortable learning new systems and working collaboratively, even in unfamiliar settings.

I am also patient, emotionally aware, and slow to anger. I understand that stress or disruptive behavior is often not personal, and I try to respond calmly and thoughtfully rather than react emotionally. This mindset has helped me build rapport and maintain a steady presence in group settings, which I believe is especially important when working with children.

My experience working with students includes both mentorship and youth supervision. In college, I founded an education-focused mentorship program for underprivileged high school students, where I designed lesson plans and led biweekly online sessions focused on the college application process, essay writing, and résumé preparation. In addition, through the AnBryce Scholars program, I worked at a two-week overnight summer camp for children, where I lived in a cabin with campers and supervised daily activities. I led hikes, reading sessions, and book comprehension activities, and helped manage group routines and behavior in a residential setting. These experiences taught me how to guide students, maintain structure, and remain attentive and responsible in dynamic environments.

Overall, I am dependable, thoughtful, and emotionally steady. I take responsibility seriously and understand the importance of being a consistent and positive presence for students. I believe my adaptability, calm demeanor, and experience working with children would allow me to contribute effectively to a public school setting and work well with students, co-teachers, and school staff.

My name is Amanda, happy to greet you 🙂 I bit about me: I have a Bachelors of Arts in International Studies. I like to describe myself as an understanding and curious person with a calming presence. People would describe me as levelheaded with a good ability to lead and persuade. I will always value education first as it is the most important quality to possess in this world, to be knowledgeable so you can think for yourself and form your own conclusions. Knowledge is what keeps society growing and it’s people thriving. I thrive to find community and connecting with others. 
I have extensive experience working in both childcare and educational settings. I have over eight years experience working in educational learning preschools as a teacher for children ages 0 to 6 years old – including Montessori styled, play based and structured curriculums – emphasizing the importance of sensory and open play objectives. Working with these younger age groups you develop many skills that are helpful, such as patience, adaptability and learning various different teaching techniques that fit each child learning style. Through all my families I have encountered, I emphasis the importance of forming that strong bond to build trust and care. 
Additionally to my hands-on experience in early education, I have over 4 years experience working in administrative roles in high education departments. Fields including the Office of Global Diversity & Inclusion, the College of Education, and the College of Agriculture and Forestry. 
I love reading, nature, exploring and the way music transcends and reaches people in all walks of life. I value the strength of knowledge and appreciating other cultures. I have visited over 10 countries, I am intrigued of others adaption to life and society. As someone who studied in international relations at university, I am fascinated by the power of language and try to  know as many casual phrases in as many different languages as I can. One of my long-term career goals is to gain much more hands-on educational experience so I can strive for an administrative role in an international school abroad.

I hope you take great consideration of my application, speak soon!
