How long have you been teaching English?

Since September 2005

What inspired you to become an English teacher?

At the time, I was living in Portugal and I thought that, as I could speak Portuguese and have been through the process of learning a language, I was in a good position to help people learn a second language.

What do you enjoy most about being an English teacher?

I love the different people I’ve met from so many different backgrounds, I don’t think there are many jobs like this one where I get to learn so much about people. I also love how no two lessons are ever the same, even if I use the same materials or activities.

How can you support students with IELTS preparation?

What levels of English proficiency do you teach? (e.g., beginner, intermediate, advanced)

I teach all levels from beginner to advanced and as varied as exam classes to business english classes.
