Advert description
I am a CELTA qualified English teacher and Psychology graduate with more than 5 years of experience teaching English in language academies. I completed the CELTA in 2017, and since then I have taught English in Vietnam, Ireland, the UK, and (primarily) Spain.
Over the past 5 years I have had the opportunity to teach essentially all levels and age groups, from kids as young as 4 years old, to adults of practically every age & background. I have also taught a variety of different classes, including General English, Conversation, Business, and Intensive Exam Preparation. As a teacher, I have been continually developing my skills. I have consistently shown the ability to develop creative lesson plans to match the needs of a diverse range of students, as well as strong organisational and classroom management skills. Furthermore, my background in Psychology has also played a role in shaping my teaching style, particularly with regards to creating a supportive and motivating learning environment. Additionally, it has also given me a background in Special Educational Needs in the classroom.
While the majority of my experience has been in the classroom teaching groups, I do also have experience teaching one on one tutorials, both in person and online, as I already have a small number of students who live abroad that I teach privately online. Subsequently, while many of the teaching principles remain the same, I am aware of the ways in which you need to adapt your teaching style. And I have experience teaching on Zoom, Skype and Google Classroom. Finally, as a general ethos, I set out to make lessons both productive and informative through creative activities, and by cultivating an engaging and fun atmosphere.
