I'd like to tell you a little about myself and my teaching career so far.

I grew up in the South West of England and I have a range of teaching experience. One of my previous job roles was teaching English as a Foreign Language in Shandong, China for six months (2016-2017). During this role, my students were aged 3-12. 

I started teaching English to High School students in July 2021 in Chon Buri, Thailand. I greatly enjoyed the challenges that came with this job including teaching online, hybrid teaching, and learning to control and teach classes of around 40 teenagers.

I really love teaching and would love to continue this career in Bangkok. My current contract ends in early October 2022 so I will be available around this time. 

I currently have or have had a total of three jobs teaching English:

• The first was at a language school in China teaching Kindergarten and Primary aged students. 
• The second is at High School in Thailand teaching ages 12-16.
• The third is online teaching Business English to adults.

In the first role I worked for English First and I was expected to deliver the company's teaching materials to the students. The curriculum had a wide range of Speaking, Listening, Writing, and Reading content.

In the second role in which I am still employed, I teach the English Communication Development programme. This is mostly Speaking & Listening so the students are exposed to a native speaker. This works well to assist the Thai teachers who teach more detailed grammar in their separate English lessons.

The third role in which I am also still employed is a part-time online job teaching Business English. We interview students prior to their first class and offer a range of Speaking, Listening, and Writing content depending on their professional needs. 
 

I have a Bachelor of Science degree in Psychology and a 120-hour online TEFL qualification.
