Teaching is done in-person as well as via Zoom, using a paperless and online learning platform through Pearson English.Lessons are taught using e-textbooks including other online resources. I utilize various activities to engage students and to foster relationships among students who are both online and in-person.

I taught international students ranging from university students to career and business adults.As a teacher at CCEL, I utilized a unique online and paperless curriculum called SMRT, where students have access to learning material on their smart phones and laptops. Lessons were later moved seamlessly from in-class to online during the Covid-19 lockdown. I teach wherever was needed, whether it was a Lower Intermediate class to an Advanced level class. These classes ranged from 6-12 students. My responsibility touched on all areas of English skills: Reading, Speaking, Writing, Listening, Grammar, Vocabulary, Pronunciation, as well as providing knowledge of Canadian culture and everyday language.
