Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL)
I believe in proving my worthiness to you so that you know that your chosen teacher in English has the necessary skills. So, I decided to show upfront proof of my capability for TESOL.
I am qualified to teach “English to Speakers of Other Languages” (TESOL). My elective was using technology to assist English as a Second LANGUAGE (ESL) learning.

*(Use of technology to assist ESL learning)
So there you have it, I am qualified to teach you, and I have been a fluent native English speaker for over 50 years. I travelled to countries like China, the Philippines, India, and Russia and enjoyed learning other languages. I am presently learning: Chinese, Hindi, Bahasa Indonesia and Spanish. So, I understand the frustration and difficulties of learning “someone else’s language”.
Ongoing Personal Education
Concerning qualifications and ongoing personal education and improvements, I attend workshops and complete training programs to keep myself up-to-date with what’s happening in the education realm and remain fresh and intuitive for the student’s needs. This is important to a student so that their teacher does not become dry and dull.
As you will see below, the recent certificates involve different areas of achieving goals in IELTS and, therefore, improving the student’s English.
