I am passionate about my work because I love what I do, I have a steady source of motivation that drives me to do the best in whatever I do. I a people person. I love meeting new people and learning about their lives and how can make an impact in their life. I can almost always find common ground with strangers, and like making people feel comfortable in my presence. This skill especially helpful when kicking off new classes with students.
I am result oriented, always checking in with the goals to determine how close or far we are to and what it will take to make it happen. Finally, I am an excellent communicator who prides on making sure have the right information.Me as a Teacher
As a teacher I posses enormous impact on the life of the student . I provide students with enjoyable education experience. Although am an English teacher, I want to be a teacher that my students can relate to every aspect of their life. I hope to make a difference in the lives of my students. I am understanding and patient and aware of how to talk to beginner students. I encourage my students to ask questions, take risks and overcome the fear of making mistakes as this is part of the learning process.My lessons & teaching style
My teaching style and lessons are primarily centred on class engagement. I adapt my teaching style in order to cater for everyone and make materials to make the lessons as interesting as possible for students of all ages. During my lessons, I focus on you and your abilities. I focus more on the learning process and less on the teaching methods. Working with the student helps me to find out what works for them and apply that. I do formative assessments that let the students know where they are as they learn and what progress they are making instead of waiting until you have finished with something to give only a summative assessment of grades.My teaching material

Teaching experience
2022 - 2025
ESL TEACHERAs an ESL teacher in Bangkok, Thailand, working with Kindergarten to Grade 6 students, I focus on developing their English skills through engaging activities. For younger students, I use songs, games, and visuals to teach vocabulary and basic sentence structures. With older students, I incorporate grammar, reading comprehension, and writing exercises.
I adapt lessons to students' language levels, promoting confidence in speaking, listening, reading, and writing.

Elsa is a great teacher. She is patient and she gives the student time to formulate sentences and to think. She speaks in a way that is clear to understand for beginners. Plus, she is a good conversationalist with interesting ideas. Highly recommended!
