As a padel coach to children, teenagers, and adults of varying skill levels. I
have extensive experience adapting lessons to suit different learning styles,
ages, confidence levels, and goals. Coaching has strengthened my ability to
break down complex ideas into clear, manageable steps, create engaging and
supportive learning environments, and encourage learners to practise, make
mistakes, and improve with confidence. These principles closely align with
effective language teaching, where communication, encouragement, and
structured progression are essential.
In my professional career, I have over five years of experience as an IT
Manager where a teaching-first approach was central to my work. Rather than
simply resolving issues, I regularly taught users how to troubleshoot problems
independently, explaining why issues occur and how systems behave. This
helped learners develop problem-solving skills, technical vocabulary, and
confidence in communicating about challenges, skills that translate directly to
language learning. Supporting users from diverse backgrounds has also
strengthened my ability to explain concepts clearly, patiently, and in accessible
language.
I have also led and trained international teams of technical staff, working
across time zones and cultures. In these roles, clear communication, empathy,
and adaptability were essential. I consistently used real-world situations as
learning opportunities, helping individuals understand processes, ask
questions, and develop confidence in expressing themselves
