Summary

Highly dedicated and qualified English teacher with nearly 20 years of experience teaching adults across ELICOS, private colleges, and remote settings. Along with gaining a Master of Education (TESOL), I have developed strong expertise in delivering high-quality lessons across all levels of General English, as well as exam preparation classes (B2 First, CAE, and IELTS). I’m also a collaborative team member who contributes positively to staffrooms and student support environments. I care deeply about this sector and the people in it, and I’m always open to opportunities where growth — for students, teams, and teachers — is genuinely valued.
