Math and Computer Science Teacher through English as a Second Language
Education, English Language Instruction, Technology, Teaching
Teaching core GSCE subjects through the English language at an international school in Thailand. Subjects were Math, ICT and social emotional life skills. We take an alternative approach to education ensuring students learn hands on through practice.

Interessi: I am an Irish 27 year old lady who originally graduated in Professional Social Studies and Social Care. This experience introduced me to the world of adapting and changing educational approaches to suit the abilities of the person learning the material.
From here I became curious as to how I can share this knowledge and passion with people all around the world which lead me to completing the 120 hour TEFL course and then taking a risk and moving to Thailand in the hope of teaching English in a classroom.
The risk proved successful as I began teaching in a Thai school followed by an international school.
English language, Math, Computer Science and Social Emotional Learning are all subjects I am currently teaching, through the English Language.
I also teach English conversation skills online through a school based in Turkey.
Both are extremally rewarding and enjoyable but soon I will be returning to Ireland with the hope of continuing to share my love of teaching the English language to those who wish to excel and succeed in their learning process.
