PROFILE
My career has led me to specialise in international language instruction at university, college, and K-12 levels for over 15 years. I have vast experience in designing and delivering Developmental Writing instruction to native and non-native speakers. During this time, I trained to assess both TOEIC and TOFEL. Most recently, I have been involved in designing and delivering EAP – English for Academic Purposes courses to professors, and IELTS, TOEIC, TOEFL preparation, instructing student nurses in English and PYP courses at Princess Nora University. As you can see, I have wide experience in teaching English as a foreign and second language both in the USA and on the international circuit. I am highly motivated and still very much on top of my game. I am a team player, flexible and would appreciate the opportunity to further my career and to strengthen your team.
