      • Apr 2022 - Jan 2023

      As a teacher, my main responsibilities are to teach ELICOS students of various backgrounds English by implementing an engaging, interactive lesson plan for every lesson I teach. The levels vary between A1 (beginners) to C2 (Advanced) and I teach a vast range of skills -- General English, EAP, and Test Prep (mainly CAE). As my role also includes a full-time Activities Coordinator position, I am also responsible and committed to planning, organising, and putting on many different extracurricular events to increase the student experience of ELICOS students. These activities may include academic workshops, free-time activities and excursions such as skydiving, snow-days, museum trips, as well as charity events. Show less
