During my 120-hour in- person TEFL certification course, I learned how to plan and deliver communicative lessons with specific aims and effective structure for pre-intermediate, inter-mediate and upper-intermediate students.
I believe I will be a great addition to your team as I have the ability to plan and deliver communicative lessons with specific aims and structure. My lessons incorporate engaging activities and elucidating instruction that students truly enjoy and benefit from.I am constantly looking for, finding and applying ways to improve my lesson planning and delivery.
For several years I have been living and working in the UK in the hospitality industry. This gave me the opportunity to travel the world and experience different cultures, taught me how to be flexible and motivated and how to work well independently, as well as in a team.
My mixed nationality, my work and travel experiences but also living in other countries has given me the ability to relate to a wide variety of personalities. I am a heart centered woman who loves connecting with people, loves to continuously develop her skills whilst still enjoying some 'me' time.
I am able to work well independently, as well as in a team, always prioritising the needs of my students.
I consider myself a dedicated and responsible individual who is well equipped for a successful teaching career.
If you have any further questions, please don’t hesitate to contact me.
