My English degree gave me a grounding in understanding the structure and grammar of the English language and my TESOL course built upon this, provided a background to TESOL methodology and developed the basic skills to teach non-native speakers of English. My knowledge base and teaching skills have been greatly enhanced through practice as a TESOL teacher over 7 years. I am always looking to improve my teaching skills through personal study, workshops, discussion with other teachers and through experience and I receive positive feedback from course supervisors, colleagues, students and parents of students.
