    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!
