She was always willing to make useful contributions to input and was a supportive and professional member of the teaching practice group. Daisy was able to analyse language accurately and thoroughly and teach meaning form and pronunciation very effectively. By the end of the course, she was able to devolve more responsibility to the learners and was successfully designing and exploiting materials of her own to great effect.Daisy sets herself exacting standards and is keen to develop her all-round teaching skills even further. She showed great awareness of her own strengths and developmental needs. Daisy made outstanding progress on the course and will be a reliable, popular and professional colleague. With more experience and some further guidance she will become a truly outstanding teacher of ESOL." Show less

      Teacher of English

      I taught English as a foreign language to students from age 5 to 65. Each class is specifically tailored to that of the students, depending on their age and level, so each class was completely different. I worked closely with my manager to ensure the effective delivery of learning and became a mentor for fellow teachers. I was also given the role of administrator and first point of call for parents. I led teacher-parent sessions and was the face of our school reception. I updated and maintained the school diary and established an information board for the parents and children. General duties included answering phone calls and emails, liaising with outside agencies at reception and creating and maintaining the filing record system. Show less
