Résumé
Work Experience
2015 - 2018
Teaching in Brazil 4
"Influx" English Course - Salvador, Brazil
My favourite of all the places I've worked. They combine the lexical approach with the communicative approach, and study with language "chunks" (collocations) as opposed to single-word vocabulary lists, and including any type of 'fun' in the classes is encouraged. Very effective.
2014 - 2015
Teaching in South Africa
"Let's Learn English" English Course - Cape Town, South Africa
My first experience teaching non-Brazilians, which in some cases forced me to be creative in order to break the language barrier. However, I mostly taught advanced students so this was not usually a problem.
2012 - 2014
Teaching in Brazil 3
"Manhattan" English Course - Salvador, Brazil
Here the structural approach was combined with the communicative approach. I saw how much more effective classes were and how much happier the students, when using the communicative approach, and was forever sold on it.
2012 - 2012
Teaching in Brazil 2
"Achieve Languages" English Course - Salvador, Brazil
A new school with an entirely different approach which had potential, but unfortunately the school did not stay open for very long.
2010 - 2012
Teaching in Brazil 1
"Skill Idiomas" English Course - Salvador, Brazil
My first opportunity to teach English - an eye-opening experience.
