My working career spans the last twenty-seven years of my life, the last five years of which I spent teaching and lecturing throughout Cambodia. I have taught children from the ages of three to eighteen years old in ENGLISH, across all subjects, in the classroom. I also lectured in person at the UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH EAST ASIA to fourth year students in PSYCHOLOGY, ECONOMICS, ENGLISH LITERATURE and BUSINESS COMMUNICATIONS. In addition, I have taught students worldwide through online teaching as well as personally in the classroom. I am experienced in teaching both children and adults on the autistic spectrum, as well as other Mental and Physical disabilities.

I believe that learning a new language should be a fun and engaging experience; the end goal to use the language to communicate. I am a TEFL certified teacher, I also have a BA degree in Humanities as well as my PGCE in Foundation Phase. My online classes are tailored to the needs and goals of each student. I teach English through the use of songs, stories, and fun activities. Building confidence is my number one goal, so I give the student as many opportunities to talk as possible while providing lots of praise and encouragement!
