I am currently searching for work as an English language teacher. At present, I am working in Naples with the British Council, Cambridge School and the Orientale University. I plan to relocate to Malaga in the summer.

I am enthusiastic, driven and approachable with a wide range of interests, among which I count languages. I have studied several Indo-European languages, for both academic and professional requirements, and as such I am familiar with both the joy and despair that studying a second language can bring. Having been both a student and now a teacher, I believe that the key requirement in our work is the ability to instil in students an interest and curiosity in the language.

As part of my current employment with the British Council, I teach children and adults of all levels ranging from elementary to advanced. I have worked in three different countries and as such, have encountered students from a wide range of cultures and backgrounds. My work at present is classroom-based with an emphasis on the communicative approach. I make use of numerous activities and aids to engage, stimulate and motivate students.

I have taught English to a wide range of students for a variety of purposes, from those focusing on exam preparation to pupils seeking to develop their skills for more social reasons. Having tutored military personnel, university lecturers, medical experts and bank officials, primary and secondary students, as well as fellow teachers, I have sufficient knowledge and experience to help business professionals to achieve their desired goals, while designing course material to suit their requirements. I prefer to focus on the ‘communicative’ method of teaching, facilitating an improvement in the student’s language production (both written and spoken) ability covering numerous subject areas. I particularly enjoy communicating with my students and I am equally comfortable teaching individuals or groups.

Should you require any further information, please do not hesitate to contact me.

I thank you for taking the time to consider my application and I hope to hear from you soon.

Kind regards
