About Me
Introduction:
Hello my name is Claire and I’m a qualified ESL teacher.
My degree back ground is Psychology where I am studying at the Open University in the UK.
I live in London in the UK and originally I am from Cambridge, my accent is clear and well spoken.
I have just returned from China, where I really discovered teaching in Zhuhai. My friend asked me to cover for a week and I fell in love with teaching, I then continued to teach for just over a year. I want to carry on teaching students online so I can finish my degree in the UK.
I have a year experience and a tefl certificate and would be an excellent candidate. I have taught both English and American English from the ages of 3 to 10 years.
I am finishing my degree in the UK so I can continue to teach anywhere in the world, its my true vocation in life.

Initially I worked part time and increased my hours because I found teaching very rewarding. I have the passion for shaping young minds and teaching English in the most natural way. I work with children in the age group of 3 – 10. As a teacher I am the first person who sows the seeds of intelligence in children by teaching English basics. Planning lessons encompassing a range of skills building activities in the four areas of language learning: Speaking, Writing, Reading, and Listening allowing children to learn English through play, having fun is an essential part of learning and enjoying the lesson.
