Throughout my career, I have honed my skills as a University Access instructor at Maple Leaf KPU, RMIT University Australia, and Limkokwing University. In the last decade, I've facilitated collegiate-level courses, provided comprehensive exam preparation classes, and coordinated large-scale assessments like the IELTS and, more recently, the CELPIP Exam in Canada. I am deeply committed to creating an inclusive and stimulating learning environment that enables students to reach their academic aspirations.
My teaching philosophy is grounded in active learning strategies, Second Language Acquisition (SLA) theory, and the use of various instructional technologies, including Moodle, Canvas, Kahoot, and Epuzzle. My dedication to professional growth is demonstrated by my ongoing pursuit of educational opportunities, such as earning a TESOL certification from TESOL Canada and completing the Training the Trainers program from TESOL Associations USA. A highlight of my career was being nominated as the top University Access and Foundation instructor for advanced training in Melbourne, an acknowledgment of my exceptional performance and commitment to excellence.
