Description

**TEFL Certified ESL Teacher with 10 years experience****Looking for long term position***(1-6 months). I am a passionate teacher. Learning English in a functional and useful way is essential for many people to move out of their current situations and give them an opportunity to change their lives. That is the reason I started in Nepal, then Thailand and now Cambodia. After 10 years at an international school teaching English to primary children I am ready for a new adventure. Workaway seems the perfect fit for me because wherever I am that is the place I call home.

Being a student also helps me as a teacher of English since it puts me in the student's position rather than the instructor's. I can appreciate how nerve-wracking public speaking can be and how to overcome that with patience and persistence.

Quelles sont vos compétences ?

My primary skill is teaching English. I volunteered in Canada teaching conversational English to new immigrants. Then I decided to travel to Nepal where I volunteered at an orphanage and a local school. That then brought me to Cambodia where I have been teaching for 10 years. My specialty is teaching phonics sounds therefore establishing a strong foundation for reading and writing. Teaching students practical English speaking is also a skill which I excel at. While it's important to know grammar rules and correct punctuation, being able simple questions from a guest, or tourist is essential for effective communication. I am also very skilled with Photoshop, video editing, AI prompts, AI art, Microsoft Word, Excel and Office. Also, I love gardening, all pets and cooking.
