Summary
A passionate writer, reader, language learner, and teacher, I am extremely eager to begin teaching ESL on a professional level. I have an immense love for the English language, and have always found great joy in conveying knowledge to others.
In 2023, I founded a short fiction not-for-profit writing organisation to foster a community of writers. I run writing workshops and writing classes, each of which has given me extensive skills when it comes to teaching. A fresh CELTA graduate, I have great experience in a traditional classroom setting and am eager to put my skills to work
