TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language)qualified

I work full time as a primary school teacher in a top international school in Bangkok. I have over 8 years teaching experience. I also 4 years experience working as a secondary school teacher in Ireland and the United Kingdom.

Living and working in Bangkok has allowed me to gain experience teaching English as a foreign language.

Flexible, patient and encouraging teaching - I’m learning Thai so I know how it feels to be a language learner!

Student centered learning.

To use the skills that I have developed through academic, extra-curricular and teaching experience to help develop and foster the love and joy of learning in my students and assist them in developing and achieving their potential.
