MEET YOUR TEFL COURSE LEADER!
My love and passion for creatively teaching, training, and mentoring people and seeing them progress is what drove me to become an ESL teacher. I am eager to utilize my strengths as a public speaker and I am driven by excellence, to guide others in their journey of learning a new language. I have more than 8 years of coaching, training, mentoring, and public speaking experience. My experience as a public speaker has especially enabled me to help people become better communicators by improving every aspect of verbal and non verbal communication. I also have extensive experience in conversational English, Career path preparation (interviews, presentations, professional profiles etc), life-skills and basic business English.
