I am an energetic and confident native English speaker.
My teaching experience:
I have been doing ESL Teaching for the last 10 years’ full time.
I have 8 and a half years’ experience of being a full time Online English and ESL teacher, teaching adults, kindergarten, elementary, middle and high school students on various online platforms. I also have experience in teaching group classes ranging from 3 -40 students per class.
Furthermore, I have two years’ experience of being a full time English and ESL teacher at a high school as well as a kindergarten in South Korea; teaching adults, kindergarten, elementary, middle and high school students.
Also, one-year full time High School Commercial studies teacher in South Africa.
Altogether, I have 11 years’ experience of being a full time teacher.

With my numerous years of experience as an ESL teacher; I've realized the importance of teaching English as a foreign language and how the ability to communicate in English can contribute greatly to people’s lives. I believe that learning English should be fun, exciting and interactive, so my teaching is based on these fundamentals (using props, chanting, repetition etc. based on the student's needs and personality. Therefore, I strive to meet each student on their own level of English and to guide and assist them to reach their best potential.

Learning about different cultures is a passion of mine and I have succeeded in working with students and parents with different cultural, ethnic and religious backgrounds.
