I'm an out-going ESL teacher who loves travelling, sport and cooking! I've travelled across a lot of South America, and I even lived in Puerto Escondido, Mexico for 6 months. At the moment, I'm also doing a part time course in the sciences, as I've always been interested in them and I think it'll widen my knowledge base for when I'm teaching.

Ich als Lehrkraft

As a teacher, I like to think I'm a warm and comforting presence in a class. I really try to make students feel comfortable and confident enough to speak. I understand how hard it is learning another language, having learnt Spanish myself!

Meine Stunden und mein Unterrichtsstil

First of all, I think it's so important for a teacher to be flexible in what they teach, especially when it comes to 1-to-1 classes. I think I do this very well, always. gauging student's needs and making new material if needs be for them. Another core part of my lessons is grammar. A lot of teachers are scared to teach grammar, especially for advanced level students, but not me. Not only do I think it's one of the most vital parts of anyone's language education, but I also think it doesn't have to be boring or gruelling. And lastly, for me speaking is the most important part of the lesson, as well being exposed to lots of listening and different accents.

2023 - 2024

Freelance TeacherPreply - London, GroßbritannienBeginning in April of 2023, while I was in Mexico, I started teaching online with Preply. Other than for my CELTA course, which was online, it was my first extended experience teaching for myself online. I found it very rewarding, hence why I want to return to it (but with a different company), but sadly I had to stop because juggling my full time workout Verbo and online teaching was too much.

2022 - 2023

TeacherLanguageland Mexico - Puerto Escondido, MexikoI began teaching here. from December 2022 until May 2023, when we had to leave Mexico due to a family emergency. I would have loved to stay for longer, I loved teaching out there. I primarily taught groups of teenager and children, but I also had 1-to1s with adults.

2021 - 2022

Teacher, Admissions Coordinator, TransfersBrighton Language College International - Brighton, GroßbritannienThis was my first proper position at a school after completing may CELTA because before then I had only done freelance work, often temporarily due to schools recovering from covid. I taught from December 2021 - September 2022, always with groups of teenagers or children. The director of studies offered me extra roles during the summer, which was in the sales and logistics department of the school, but I always focused on teaching the most.

2021 - 2022

St Giles is a fantastic and very esteemed school, so I learnt so much in such a short time. I started in November 2021 and then finished my freelance work in March 2022 when I started working more at BLCI.
