عني

I am a native English speaker with 16 years experience teaching English as a foreign language. During my teaching career, I have taught hundreds of private students and currently have a number of students, aged from 3 years to adult, including teenagers preparing for examinations required for entry to university. In addition to this I have worked in several private academies where the students have been of all ages and many working towards cambridge exams PET, FCE and CAE. Whilst working at Isabell International School in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, I was solely responsible for every aspect with the English Department. During the summer months over the last six years, I have worked at several Summer Schools as part of the teaching team. I have been teaching English online for the last 6 months.

I like to use a variety of resources including course books and online interactive materials. Some adults have required everyday conversation and these sessions, based on dialogue and role-play, have been tailor made to their individual needs. I have also taught several groups of Chinese students in Almunecar, Spain, and these classes were geared specifically to the restaurant business. I value highly the elicitation of answers rather than rote learning. I believe in the importance of making each lesson interesting, varied and fun, while ensuring that the basic language skills: speaking; listening; reading; writing, as well as: grammar; vocabulary; pronunciation are covered.
I am an independent, hardworking and reflective person who enjoys a challenge. I use my initiative when teaching to enable me to be flexible and adaptable. I am friendly and approachable and this enables me to communicate effectively with both my peers and with students. I believe that humour is a great tool in the teaching and learning process. I take a great interest in people which allows me to be open and this encourages openness in return, allowing the teaching and learning process to be successful.

In 2002, I carried out an intensive one month CELTA course, at Sussex Downs College, Eastbourne, and gained a distinction. In addition to this I hold a first class Bachelor of Science Degree. Having lived in Spain for 16 years, I am a competent Spanish speaker.
