      Teacher in English as a Foreign Language

      I taught intensive Cambridge First Certificate and Advanced Certificate exam courses to teenagers and young adults, with a high success rate. I taught all levels of English from beginners through to advanced and used a range of Headway and Cambridge Masterclass course books as well as supplementing the courses with my own, specifically designed materials. I also produced end of term exams with other teachers and taught a sixty hour conversation course in my own time with mixed level students.
