About

I am an international educator and English language specialist with extensive teaching experience across the Philippines, Thailand, Vietnam, and Uzbekistan. My practice centers on English language education, IELTS preparation, Humanities, phonics, and student-centered learning.

Working with learners from diverse cultural and educational backgrounds, I strive to create meaningful learning experiences that build not only language proficiency but also confidence, critical thinking, and effective communication.

I currently work as an English Language Specialist in Tashkent Region, Uzbekistan, delivering instruction aligned with the CEFR and the national curriculum, incorporating IELTS-style tasks into classroom teaching, and supporting students toward international English proficiency standards.
