About

Have taught ESOL for 9.6 years. I taught English for academic purposes (EAP) with (Cambridge Education Group) at Sunderland University for 2.6 years. Before that I taught TEFL in Spain and Poland. Teaching a wide range of students from kids classes to adults. I have also done 1 to 1 lessons at language schools and privately online. I taught an academic English class for WEA through Zoom. Currently I have been working as an instructor at Newcastle College for almost 5 years. I have taught at multiple levels from Pre-Entry to Level 2 ESOL. I have experience with City Guilds examination, PET and IELTS exams. At the weekend I volunteer as a basketball coach in Sunderland. I use teaching skills to help teach young people about basketball. I do this because basketball is a passion and I want to pass the sport to younger generations.
