I am a 40-year-old conversationalist who lives in Jamaica. In my spare time, I teach English voluntarily to students in Chile.
I am light-spirited and enjoy traveling and meeting people from different countries and cultures.
I enjoy sharing my knowledge and am very open to learning new things every day from everyone I come in contact with.
Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL) and Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL) finds me instructing non-native English speakers. My responsibilities include lesson planning, language skill development, and creating an immersive learning environment. Effective communication, cultural sensitivity, and adaptability are crucial in this role. As a TESOL teacher I also am a business language teacher, I specialize in instructing individuals or groups in the language skills specifically required for professional environments. My responsibilities include designing curriculum to enhance business communication, teaching industry-specific vocabulary, and incorporating real-world scenarios into lessons. I help students develop effective written and verbal communication skills for meetings, presentations, and business correspondence. Adaptability to various industries and a keen understanding of corporate communication needs are key aspects of this role.
My experience of teaching English as a Foreign Language has found me teaching starter and advanced students ages 10-14. I ensure my tone and speed are correctly paced and a plus is using visual aids (visual cues) in lesson delivery.
