I’ve been involved in teaching English as a Foreign Language for many years. I love working with students and many years of experience have helped me realise how to best assist learners with achieving their educational goals. My teaching experience is reinforced by multiple qualifications that I have gained throughout my career. After finishing my Master’s Degree in English Philology in 2009, I have completed a CELTA course. Since then I’ve been undergoing multiple teacher training sessions to enhance my teaching performance. I’ve been also involved with Blended Learning, which is increasing in popularity and makes students’ learning experience even more fascinating. I’m currently doing an Educational Enquiry module with the Open University as I aim to enrich my knowledge even more. I always look forward to maximising students’ learning experience and making sure they achieve the best they possibly can!
