ABOUT ME

I have five years of experience teaching English as a Second Language (ESL) to students from various ethnicities and cultural backgrounds. I enjoy designing and executing interesting class sessions that cater for the varying needs of students, where my motivation stems from uplifting the language requirements of a diversified audience. Additionally, I possess great class management skills and can provide instructions that are focused and in alignment with the learning objectives. I maintain a strong commitment to supporting students in achieving their academic objectives. I'm an energetic and dedicated person who always aspires to meet the highest academic standard possible at all times. My other aptitudes worth mentioning are the ability to work under pressure, effective listening and communication skills, and empathy for student challenges and academic needs. Lastly, I possess a Master of Arts (M.A.) from the University of Westminster in the field of TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages).
