I am a dedicated teacher with a profound passion for teaching and a strong academic background. I hold a Master's degree in English and have a wealth of experience in higher education, primarily at the university level. Over the years, I have had the privilege of working with adult learners, helping them navigate the intricate world of the English language and literature.
I have extensive experience teaching university graduate students, focusing on advanced English topics. Additionally, I served as a curriculum planning and design coordinator, creating skill books for secondary school students. I also conducted teacher training sessions to enhance English teaching skills. My teaching career spans various age groups and educational levels, from adult learners at the university level to secondary school students and fellow educators.
My interest in teaching English is driven by the power of language to connect people, cultures, and ideas. I'm passionate about helping students become proficient communicators in English, enabling them to unlock countless opportunities in a globalized world. Teaching English allows me to witness the transformation of learners as they gain confidence and language skills, and it's incredibly rewarding to be a part of their journey toward effective communication and cultural understanding.
I look forward to sharing my knowledge, nurturing curiosity, and making a positive impact on the educational experiences of my students, both now and in the future.
