BIO

I’m a highly experienced English Language & ESOL teacher/ lecturer with an excellent knowledge in these subjects. I graduated from the University of Sussex with a BA Hons degree in languages and went on to do a Licentiate Diploma in Teaching English to Speakers of other Languages with Trinity College London, as well as a Post Graduate Certificate of Education (PGCE) at the University of Leicester and am now working on a Master’s Degree in Digital Education with the University of Leeds.

I’m friendly, easy going and get excellent results through building good relationships with my students. At present, I teach at Bedford College delivering predominately English GCSE, and some Functional Skills, to students over sixteen across three separate departments, undertake skills analysis, classroom delivery and exam preparation.

I have а trаck recоrd of success and delivering results through private tutoring and at clаssrооm level. I have significаnt, long-term experience at levels from KS2, KS3, GCSE and ESOL, EAL and IELTS.

I have enabled students to maximise their outcomes at all these assessment levels. I have taught both primary and secondary school age students throughout the country and am therefore skilled at teaching students from all walks of life.

Work History:

  • I worked as an Adult Courses & Student Engagement Coordinator in Singapore under the British Council; planned and delivered lessons across the age and product range, including IELTS, GE, BE/BES and N1 – GP2. Supported delivery through material dissemination, and creation, SOW rewrites and in-house training.
  • Head of Maths/ Course Team Leader Functional Skills/ CTL ESOL - Worked collaboratively with a team to ensure delivery of Maths (and English) across 20+ departments over three sites in an FE college. This included the development of a student progress tracker, a mentoring programme for newly recruited staff, the upload and development of self-access materials via our Moodle platform, the introduction of GCSE Maths, and IQA training and oversight for exam delivery and marking.

I find it really rewarding to see а student reach their gоаls and take pride in inspiring and contributing to their achievements.

I aspire to deliver success for all of my students.

I look forward to hearing from you soon.
