Dear Kate

I am an experienced educator with a diverse background in teaching English and supporting students in various capacities. Currently, as an English Teacher at Hands Up Education Center in Macau, I develop engaging curricula, encourage self-expression, and provide individualized support to learners. Previously, I worked as a Homeroom Teacher at Westminster International School, where I created instructional plans, collaborated with colleagues, and maintained open communication with parents.

My role as a Teaching Assistant at the British School of Tashkent involved supporting lesson planning and providing one-on-one assistance to special needs students. Additionally, I have experience as a freelance English Tutor, where I customized lesson plans and focused on developing reading and writing skills. As an ESL Teacher at International Joy Academy, I provided tailored instruction to diverse learners and organized various language-focused activities.

Overall, my background reflects a commitment to fostering a positive learning environment, collaborating with colleagues, and facilitating student growth.
