I’ve had the opportunities to teach English as well as Drama lessons online with classes of one-on-one, 4 students per class, and I’ve also taught bigger classes for public schools with classes of more than 30 students.
I’ve worked with students aged 4 years old to 16 years old, as well as with adult students.
I’ve designed and structured my own drama presentations and English classes with my own resources and research.
I have experience in teaching reading and conversational English online using self-designed and self-sourced material.
I’ve designed and practised self-made educational games and activities during online classes.

Most recently, I’ve had the amazing experience of working at an international kindergarten where I taught 2 groups of two and three year olds and one group of 5 to 6 year olds.
I’ve done several small lessons and lesson introduction recordings for pre-class exposure.

With regards to entertainment & communication, I’ve had extensive training in working closely with children, during and after my degree, and presented and designed several workshops.
I’ve worked as a facilitator at various educational institutions & entertainment companies with the emphasis on building self-confidence, public performance, reading, writing and lesson-based puppetry on the subjects of health, food, general manners, morals & values, social behaviour and more.
Extreme attention to verbal and written use of language to ensure proper communication has always been highly prioritised.

Self-training in child education, problem-focused guidance and working out class structures & presentations also fall under my skills.
My extremely good eye for detail has always been supportive with regards to preparation, presentation, and creating an appropriate atmosphere.

I believe I have the necessary creative skills and resourcefulness to be a perfect fit for this position. I'm a good communicator and have a natural sense of what children are drawn to on a local and international level. Over the years I've also gained experience in trend following and general social interests such as cultural activities and relevant upcoming events. Staying updated about local surroundings and international developments is extremely important when it comes to learning any new skill, especially a new language. I’m able to draw attention to the right aspects with a creative approach to activate interest.

Having a degree in performance art makes enjoying working with children something that comes naturally. I'm very respectful towards my peers and superiors and have a decent and respectful approach to all the children I work with to enable a smooth flow. Teamwork is extremely important and should be effortless if approached right. A child is way more motivated when they feel part of a team – the teacher and student(s) should, therefore, function as one. There's always space for additional growth and one should seize all opportunities and approach new challenges with an open mind. Sharing your skills can lead to exceptional outcomes.
