Teaching English as a Second Language | Any remote work
Distant work
Experience:
I am a native English speaker from Botswana with 8 years of ESL teaching experience and 4 years in quantity surveying. I hold a 160-hour TEFL and a 40-hour TEYL certification, and I have taught students aged 8–65 from diverse countries including Turkey, Spain, and China. During my 5 years living in Turkey, I gained valuable international experience and cultural awareness while teaching English.
In my teaching career, I specialize in grammar, conversation, pronunciation, reading, and business English, focusing on building learner confidence and making learning enjoyable. In my quantity surveying career, I gained experience in cost estimation, project management, and construction planning, applying precision, analytical skills, and problem-solving to deliver results.
I am highly adaptable, detail-oriented, and capable of balancing multiple roles while delivering high-quality work in both educational and professional settings.
