I am a qualified EFL/ESL teacher. I have been teaching English all over the world for more than 10 years. I have other interests like gardening, sewing and cooking. I enjoy watching cartoons to relax. When I am teaching, my philosophy is to put students interests first. I believe that by using students interests incorporated into the lesson, students are more engaged and learn better. I also prefer using material based on current events and news because it usually sparks conversation and ideas from many different cultural settings. I have also had many successful students for Cambridge ESOL exam preparation. I am confident that many people will find me interesting as a teacher and that I provoke them to think outside the box.
