Diploma in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (Delta)

My knowledge of exam writing makes me uniquely positioned to offer advice on exam techniques.

Managing my own business, website, and social media channels allows me to share my knowledge of marketing, advertising and entrepreneurialism.

I prepared adult students for B2 First, C1 Advanced, C2 Proficiency, and IELTS exams. On C1/C2 courses, I taught teaching academic skills (effective notetaking, presentation skills, essay writing skills). As an E-moderator on the LearnEnglish Pathways course, I learnt how to manage groups of online learners using Edmodo. I continue to work as a Cambridge ESOL speaking examining at YLE, A2 Key, B1 Preliminary, and B2 First levels.

Working with university students as an in-sessional EAP teacher and Cambridge exams teacher, I am highly confident of my ability to teach academic and exams English. Furthermore, being a B1-C1 ACLES exam writer means I am now able to prepare students more expertly for this and similar exams. Finally, my teacher training position involved standardising speaking and writing examiners and this enables me to give expert feedback on spoken and written English performance in simulated exams.

Working with undergraduate students from around the world, my time teaching EAP (English for Academic Purposes) at The University of Reading's International Study & Language Institute (ISLI) gave me the chance to develop my ability to prepare students for their subsequent post-graduate studies at a UK university.

Delivering all aspects of the University of Bristol's 6-week pre-sessional 100% online course for Chinese learners expanded my knowledge of a multitude of tools for online English language teaching.

Working at a Chinese Middle School with large groups of students aged 12-17, I prepared my own courses and oral testing procedures including for pre-University students (IELTS preparation). My time in China gave me an awareness of some of the particular language needs of Chinese learners regarding English.

My 1-year DOS position gave me experience in teacher training and course management. My teaching experience A2 Key, B1 Preliminary, B2 First, and C1 Advanced with teenagers and adults. i became and continue to be a Cambridge ESOL speaking examiner at YLE, A2 Key, B1 Preliminary, B2 First, and C1 Advanced levels.
