Hello! My name is Rachel and teaching is my passion. I am seeking the opportunity to teach ESL classes.
I am seeking opportunities to work remotely online and within my local community, as I am well established in my home-life, family, and career. I am in my early 30s and have been working in management for the past 10 years. I am currently in the process of starting my own business, and am looking for supplemental employment opportunities that are fun, rewarding, and inspiring.
I have a BAFA in Art History and Museum Studies from the University of New Mexico, am a certified Yoga Instructor, and Herbalist. I have been teaching Yoga and Herbalism classes within my community, as well as internationally, since 2013, and it is through these experiences that I have come to realize how much I absolutely love teaching.
I am currently seeking new avenues to expand as a Teacher, and this is one of the primary reasons why I am currently in the process of becoming TESOL certified and wanting to teach ESL classes. Additionally, as a first-generation American, and as someone who has managed non-English speaking teams within the workplace, I know first-hand how important ESL programs and teachers truly are. I feel very fortunate in the fact that I have had exposure to learning Spanish and German while in school and the work-place, and I also feel as though this experience will greatly benefit me and in my ability to teach English to non-native speakers.
I am very excited about the opportunities that teaching English will present, as well as for the ways in which it will assist my growth and evolution as a teacher.
