Experience: I qualified as a primary school teacher in California, USA in 2005. I then went on to teach English in Japan, Singapore, and Thailand before moving to the UK and teaching at a private language school in 2010. I have a CELTA and DELTA qualification and am a trained speaking examiner. I have had a variety of teaching experiences with all ages (5-70+ years old) from state education to private schools, online, and 1:1. I am experienced (15 years), confident, patient and creative. I base my lessons on my students`- their current level, their needs, their interests and their overall goals. I specialise in preparing students for English exams (Cambridge suite including Business English, IELTS, OET, TRINITY) and EAP (English for academic purposes) skills (writing and reading). I am a big believer in using authentic materials for all skills; am an avid reader so integrate a variety of different texts in my lessons; and ensure regular productive language practice to improve speaking and listening confidence and pronunciation.
