About me - English
I am the author of IELTS Pathway to Success. I work with students and companies to help contribute to a more inclusive and prosperous community that develops an environment for enriched educational experiences. My primary aim is to provide students with reliable education that reflects academic detail and attention. I achieve this through innovative approaches to language with an emphasis on collaboration between all parties.
Qualifications & Experience
I have taught English as a second language (ESL) for 20 years in academic settings and English language schools. I hold a Master's in Education. CELTA and TESL certifications. My research interests include collaborative pedagogical methods for ESL learners and language identity. Recently, I have been researching elements that affect language acquisition and the role of educators' awareness for learner achievement.
Teaching Approach
I take a holistic approach to language learning that embraces complete systems rather than individual elements. I also acknowledge that teachers and students need to work collaboratively for effective learning to take place. I believe that language represents the HUB of society where all of life's transactions take place. English language learning plays an important role as the foundation for sustainability as a linguistic tool for reading, writing and speaking across all disciplines. These holistic approaches enrich and enhance intellectual growth. Developing and using holistic tools helps with the acquisition of cognitive intelligence.
