Summary

I am a passionate English language teacher well versed in the CEFR syllabus and an advocate for experiential learning. With first hand experience learning in a traditional ELT classroom, I highly endorse newer methodologies to be implemented in the classroom as we make our way into 21st century teaching. In line with IR4.0, I feel that language is a powerful tool in bridging connections for advancement and growth. Hence, I am committed in discovering and implementing various approaches to accommodate students in their journey of learning English.
