I have experience of working as a teaching assistant and trainee teacher and now I am looking to apply my experience to EFL.

I would use my teaching experience of planning and delivering lessons, including experience of modelling learning. For example, I model the new learning, then WE practise together, then YOU practise on your own. My aim would also be to help students problem-solve for themselves, and as a teacher I recognise that my role is to help students, but not do things for them. I aim to be personable, authentic, and confident in what I am doing so that students can naturally buy into me and what I am doing. I have an enthusiasm for languages and enjoyment for working with people, which I believe would help students buy into me and what I am doing. I will also listen to students talk about what they want to learn and how. I believe that within education, there needs to be a two-way communication process, rather than the teacher making decisions alone without consulting the students.
