I am a TESOL qualified native British ESL teacher with 10 years of experience in the industry in many contexts including working in public schools, private academies, business English, private tutoring, and teaching drama and interactive theatre in English. I teach all ages, from young children to adults.
I have been working as an ESL content creator / scriptwriter for the last few years, specializing in writing and recording English language podcasts, story narration, and educational videos.
Additionally, I am currently studying for my Cambridge Delta certificate which I expect to have completed by autumn 2022.
I am driven, ambitious, and hardworking, giving 100% to any project I am working on, or any class I am teaching.
My varied experience along with my creative and interpersonal skills would, I believe, make me a fantastic addition to your team or project.
