My work has focused on helping learners improve their English proficiency through student-centered instruction, practical exam preparation, and engaging lesson design. I specialize in IELTS instruction, curriculum development, and the integration of AI tools into education. I enjoy using technology and data-driven assessment to personalize learning, improve feedback, and support stronger student outcomes. Throughout my career, I have taught IELTS preparation, General English, Social Studies, and Humanities to a wide range of learners, from primary and secondary students to adult language learners. I have also mentored junior teachers and contributed to teacher training initiatives. In addition to teaching, I have experience in product and marketing management, where I worked on product launches, market research, and cross-functional coordination. This background has strengthened my communication, planning, and analytical skills. I am also actively involved in digital content creation and AI experimentation, including video editing, social media publishing, and exploring generative AI tools. These projects have helped me build practical experience in content workflows, annotation, and AI-assisted research. I am passionate about making quality English education accessible and effective for diverse learners. I value innovation, cross-cultural communication, and continuous professional development in both education and emerging AI-driven learning environments. ## Professional area ### [Marketing](https://jobicy.com/resume-category/marketing.md)[Teacher & Coach](https://jobicy.com/resume-category/teaching.md)[Writing & Content Creation](https://jobicy.com/resume-category/writing.md) ## Skills ### [Blender](https://jobicy.com/resume-skill/blender.md)[Communication](https://jobicy.com/resume-skill/communication.md)[Content Creation](https://jobicy.com/resume-skill/content-creation.md)[Curriculum Development](https://jobicy.com/resume-skill/curriculum-development.md)[Google Workspace](https://jobicy.com/resume-skill/google-workspace.md)[Market Research](https://jobicy.com/resume-skill/market-research.md)[Mentoring](https://jobicy.com/resume-skill/mentoring.md)[Public Speaking](https://jobicy.com/resume-skill/public-speaking.md)[Training](https://jobicy.com/resume-skill/training.md)[Video Editing](https://jobicy.com/resume-skill/video-editing.md) ## Education Feb 2002 - Jan 2006 Bachelor of Arts in Social Dynamics @ University of Stellenbosch Mar 2006 - Apr 2006 ESL Certificate @ Cornerstone Institute Jan 2006 - Present Professional Development @ Various Providers ## Experience 2023 - Present IELTS Instructor @ HOCMAI Education Inc.
