Experience

I am a seasoned, certified and global ELT / ESL professional with 17+ years of teaching and training. I have rich experience of teaching English from lower secondary school level to higher secondary school level; from undergraduate level to post-graduate level; from fresher level to professional level. I am passionate about teaching and learning. I want to tutor English in order to enrich, enhance and empower the language skills of students in an effective and joyful manner. I want to facilitate learning of grammatical concepts, writing skill, speaking skill and reading comprehension skill. I want to help students become proficient in communicative English so that they can face life squarely. I want to groom students with impeccable interpersonal skills and language skills so that they can become a confident and dynamic global citizen. I am a keen observer as well as a patient listener. I am capable of building trusting relationships with students in order to create a safe, positive, and productive learning environment. I am a dedicated and compassionate person and possess sensitivity to learning differences. I have an understanding of how students learn at a given cognitive level and aware how to cater to individual needs and capabilities. I am deft at engaging students (cognitive, emotional, and behavioural) productively and always endeavour to motivate students to learn. I am proficient in using latest educational technology to facilitate the language learning process of students. My approaches to teaching are learner-oriented and my focus is especially on the slow learners. I implement unconventional pedagogical methods to achieve fruitful results. My lesson plans and lesson notes are of highest quality in content and presentation. I am keen to work online to contribute my best locally as well as globally. My teaching skill has evolved through a melange of experiences that have taken shape from an unquenchable thirst for learning and to make one learn joyfully and creatively. I am keen to guide and facilitate English Language Learners around the world and to create a global village through educational collaboration and mutual understanding. I am a self-driven, dynamic, humorous and creative person. With me, I bet, it’s fun to learn!
