Qualification:

MA in Applied Linguistics/TESOL

Experience:

I am a teacher because I love teaching. I have a master degree and 25+ years of teaching experience - 20 in the UAE. Experienced with private tutoring, teaching English foundations, IELTS preparation, SAT preparation, paper TOEFL. I have an extensive library of teaching materials - paper & digital. I like to integrate technology & apps whenever possible. I was one of the IPad Champions at Higher Colleges Of Technology. However, I cannot speak Arabic nor am not willing to relocate from Abu Dhabi,.

Approach:

I make lesson plans for each class including homework plans. Not many teachers do this. I usually customize an individual approach to each student. I do a needs analysis with an evaluation of the student, & feedback from the parents. I am not a page flipper. Anyone can take a text book & teach by going page by page with a book. Most commercial textbooks do not spend enough time on each language point. I supplement with my own materials, games & activities depending on the learning objectives.
