Watching a shy adult learner give her first five-minute presentation in English – and then ask to do another – is my favourite teaching memory. I would like to create many more moments like that as a full-time English teacher at Bright Path Language Academy.

I hold the Cambridge CELTA (Pass A) and a BA in Communication. For the past three years I have taught at a language school in Valencia, Spain, working with groups of up to 14 students from A1 to C1 level, as well as private business clients. During that time I:

• prepared 46 students for Cambridge B2 First and C1 Advanced, with a 93% pass rate
• built a speaking-club programme that grew from 8 to 60 regular members
• created a library of 120 shared lesson plans that new teachers still use

I plan lessons around real communication rather than grammar for its own sake, and I am comfortable teaching children, teenagers and adults. I have studied Japanese for two years (JLPT N4) and am excited to live and work in Nagoya. I also bring experience with online teaching platforms and simple assessment tools, which helps students see their own progress from week to week.

I am available for the April intake and happy to give a demo lesson online. Thank you for considering my application.
