    About Me

    I am a certified teacher from Vancouver, Canada.
    I have worked internationally as an English Language Teacher and currently work with international and local students in Vancouver. I am passionate about creating dynamic lessons for my students to become engaged in their learning journeys and to strengthen their understanding of the English language. My areas of expertise include academic writing for high school and university students, as well as for IELTS purposes. I also have a breadth of experience in teaching the foundations of early literacy (phonics, reading, and writing).

    Education

    Bachelor of Arts from Carleton University in English Literature and a minor in Film studies.
    Bachelor of Education from Simon Fraser University with a minor in Outdoor Education
    TEFL Certification
    Master's of Education - Teaching ESL and Bilingual Education

    Experience / Qualifications

    With over 8 years of experience as an ESL teacher and tutor, I have had the privilege of working with students of all ages and backgrounds, helping them enhance their English language abilities. My teaching journey has taken me to diverse locations such as Seoul, South Korea, Madrid, Spain, and Australia, where I gained valuable insights into different cultures and teaching methodologies.

    During my time in Seoul, I taught English as a Second Language to students of various age groups, ranging from young learners to adults. This experience allowed me to develop a deep understanding of the unique challenges faced by ESL learners and implement effective teaching strategies to address their specific needs.

    In Madrid, I had the opportunity to work in a bilingual school, teaching English to students in the Primary and Intermediate levels. This experience honed my skills in creating engaging lesson plans, fostering a supportive learning environment, and promoting language development across different curriculum areas.

    Upon relocating to Vancouver, I joined the West Vancouver school district, working as a primary and intermediate English and French teacher. Beyond my work in formal educational settings, I have also dedicated a significant portion of my career to one-on-one tutoring. Over the course of 8 years, I have worked closely with students of all ages, tailoring my teaching approach to meet their specific goals and learning styles. Whether it was helping young learners with basic language skills or assisting adults in advancing their English proficiency, I have always strived to create personalized learning experiences that foster growth and confidence.

    Through my diverse experiences as an ESL teacher and tutor, I have developed a deep passion for empowering students to overcome language barriers and reach their full potential. My commitment to creating a nurturing and inclusive learning environment, combined with my extensive expertise, allows me to guide students on their language learning journey with patience, empathy, and enthusiasm.
    My English lessons designed for young ESL students, focus on phonics and early literacy skills. These are interactive lessons, carefully crafted to engage young learners, making the process of learning English enjoyable and effective. I understand the importance of building a strong foundation in phonics, as it lays the groundwork for reading, writing, and overall language development. Throughout our lessons I will guide students through various phonics principles, teaching them the sounds and letter combinations that form the building blocks of the English language. From identifying consonants and vowels to blending sounds and decoding words, students will gain the essential skills necessary for reading and pronunciation. In addition to the comprehensive lessons, my students also receive free access to an exceptional reading platform tailored specifically for their needs. In addition to this platform, I also provide customized resources tailored to my individual students and families! Therefore, my students are equipped with games to continue their learning at home! My goal is to foster a love for reading and language in your young learners, equipping them with the tools they need to become confident English speakers!

    Tips and Tricks for Sociology Essay Writing, Targeted to GCSE and AS/A Level Students.
    I am eager to help young people feel confident when writing sociology essays. I will place an emphasis on deconstructing the questions students are given by encouraging them to reword the question to offer a different perspective on it. In addition, the main aim of a sociology essay is to convince the reader more and more of the argument you have claimed in the introduction. I want to help students do this by helping them follow the PEAL structure, i.e. Point, Evidence, Analysis, Link back to question. I have found this a very effective and coherent way of structuring an essay. I have studied Sociology for 7 years now, at AS/A Level, Undergraduate Level and now at MSc level at LSE. I was awarded First-Class Honours in my undergraduate as well as 'Best Dissertation of the year' by the School of Humanities and Social Sciences. I am seeking a potential career in academia so I truly feel passionate about engaging with the lesson plans on this platform and helping students feel confident in their essay writing.

I am dedicated to helping students understand and learn because life encompasses both SCIENCE and ART. The more people I can inspire to know, understand, and love mathematics, physics, and chemistry, the more proud I am. Are you curious about how nature works? Let's explore together!

    Essay writing and IB English Lang/Lit SL/HL tutoring to help you with your essay writing and form ideas while speaking coherently in your IO
    After completing IB English Lang/Lit HL and receiving 7s in my HL Essays and IO, I am ready to help others achieve their highest potential when it comes to essay writing. In my recent written university work I have received 80+/100 and this grade range is the Highest Distinction. We will begin with a first lesson in order to get to know each other and see whether our goals align. We will discuss what exactly you need help with and make a weekly tutoring schedule. This is especially important when it comes to planning and writing HL essays and IOs. I will provide you with feedback, help you structure your work and read through it with you. I will also set deadlines for the next class that I expect you to meet. Keep in mind I pay great attention to grammar, spelling and overall clarity. IOs can be especially daunting, the idea of speaking for 10 minutes straight in essay format scared me too but I did it and received a 7, and I am here to provide you with tips and advice on how to achieve this. I am looking for students who are open to receiving constructive criticism for their work. I promise I will approach all of our lessons with patience, kindness, motivation and support!
