Kamina Hall

Dear Hiring Manager,

I hold almost 20 years of teaching and middle management experience. My students find that my enthusiasm for education makes my classroom an enjoyable place to learn and grow. I have a deep passion for self-development and a strong desire for excellence, which propels me to engage in lifelong learning. My supervisors have found that

I possess an excellent eye for detail and strive for perfection in all I do. Additionally, I have experience in employing 21st-Century learning/teaching frameworks,backward curriculum design, and the development of innovative instructional material with roots in sound research.

I served almost 10 years in the American Army as a trainer of the forces. During that time, I trained Soldiers to become competent administrative assistants and built strong teams within the Army. When that role ended, I started my own business online doing coaching and personal assistant work for small companies.

In 2010 I moved abroad to pursue my passion for education. In my time abroad teaching I have most recently served as:

• A teacher trainer and curriculum designer in Myanmar,
• an academic coordinator at a major university in the Middle East,
• a PET preparation instructor in Saudi Arabia,
• a TOEFL preparation teacher and student-tutor manager in Kurdistan,
• head of the English department in the UAE,
• an English teacher in Oman,
• an IELTS preparation instructor in Saudi Arabia, and
• an oral English teacher in China.

Due to Covid, I made the transition back to the US in 2020 and worked for one year as an admissions representative for the Arizona Culinary Institute. I have recently relocated back to Mexico. Training teachers is my greatest passion because I believe this provides me with the ability to leave the greatest impact on the world. Teachers I manage and thus, develop use those skills to continue to grow their learners. Thus, I would welcome an opportunity to discuss the position with you.
