Before I moved to the U.S.in December 2014, I was a tenured lecturer in the Department of English, Thammasat University (Thailand) where I taught different courses covering a wide range of language skills, such as “Reading for Information”, “Reading and Writing in Business 2”, “Paragraph Writing”, “Argumentative Writing”, “English Listening-Speaking 1 and 2” and “English for Hotel Personnel”. In the classes that I taught, I usually had students from different academic disciplines and I strived to accommodate their diverse needs, interests and learning styles. I frequently created teaching materials to supplement the assigned texts. For example, I developed the course syllabi and created all course materials for “Listening Speaking 2” and “Argumentative Writing”, which were later standardized and used throughout the Department. I have also used an e-learning platform, Moodle, to enhanc

I have a Master's degree in Teaching ESL and over 18 years of hands-on teaching experience. My teaching motto is: “There are no bad students, there are only bad teachers.” Many teachers make the mistake of thinking that not all children have the ability to study a foreign language. That’s not really true. I firmly believe that every child can be taught if the teacher is professional and creative in finding ways to encourage him/ her to learn. During my18 plus years experience in teaching I worked out the main rules that I follow when planning and conducting my lessons: -Be informed, eager and enthusiastic with the subject. -Organize and plan lessons well in advance. -Make sure that every student understands in advance what is going to be taught before starting each topic. -Keep students actively engaged with all parts of the lesson. -Address each student by name and use prais

"A teacher is one who makes himself progressively unnecessary" I think that this quote about teaching, in a way, reflects my idea on what teaching is all about. One can be a good teacher, whose characteristics encompass good knowledge of the subject matter, understanding the needs of your students, and the ability to apply this knowledge to students' needs. However, an effective teacher does not only pass knowledge on to her students, but makes herself gradually unnecessary: her learners become independent learners as they progress through a course. As a teacher, I always try to be effective in this sense - I foster independence in my students. At the same time, I strive for excellence which will eventually make me a better teacher. This endeavor caused me to reflect on how an excellent teacher is different from a good teacher. The conclusion I have come to is that a gap between a g

I utilize a variety of instructional techniques to help each diverse learner succeed and excel. I believe the most imperative part of teaching is to facilitate a positive rapport with my students and have clear structure for them to work with. I have taught Social Studies and Language Arts at the middle school and high school levels in Missouri for three years. I have worked with students that are considered at-risk, ELD, and students with special needs (including Autism, remedial studies, learning disabilities, and emotional disturbance disorders). I hold current and valid teaching credentials in both California and Missouri. I am in the last eight months of my Masters Degree at National University for teaching students with special needs. I also hold a Masters in Education in Best Teaching Practices, and Bachelors of Science in Social Studies Education.
