I am a bubbly Online ESL Instructor with over 8 years of teaching experience in International school and University circles. From the International Bacculeret's Primary Years Programme to the National Curriculum of England and the Cambridge English Key Stage 1 and 2, I bring with me a wealth of expertise and dedication to each class I teach.

I am a certified Test Preparations Instructor specializing in IELTS, CELPIP, and CAEL trained by OISE-University of Toronto and PARAGON Testing Enterprises respectively. In addition to test preparations, I am a certified Project Management Professional (PMP), teacher-librarian, and guided reading expert who incorporates Jolly Phonics in my teaching to enhance the reading, blending, pronunciation, and writing skills of Students.

Creating tailor-made lesson plans is something I engage in to address the diverse learning needs of the different and unique students I encounter in my teaching journey. I am a strong believer of inclusive education, hence granting students access to education without necessarily providing the appropriate avenue for learning is access denied!
