I am from India, but it has been more than 20 years living in Panama *Central America. Currently, I have been teaching at a public university for the last 15 years. I have been teaching English courses to university students (undergraduate, graduate, master) and delivered various ESL/EFL courses to multi-level ESL students.
I have an M.A. degree in Economics and Educational Technology. Besides, I have an M.A. degree in TESOL too from Norte Dame. I also carry an IELTS English Language Proficiency certificate with a C1 advanced level in academic English.
Teaching has been a passion for me. I give tutoring classes to students from different backgrounds here in Panama. It's been more than 15 years teaching English to adults and teenagers. I would say it's been a very satisfying experience for me so far.
My teaching approach depends entirely on the learning objectives of my students. Though I utilize diverse instructional strategies during my classes. I usually break the complex task into mini-tasks and the lengthy lesson into mini-lessons. Besides, I prefer to design one specific model to follow to ease the complexity of the activity. There are times when I explain a new lesson explicitly using previous knowledge of my students. Finally, I design and teach vocabulary lessons before a complex reading text. The lesson design model that I consider appropriate for teaching online and offline is Backward Lesson Design Model.
Monday to Sunday
In Panama, I can provide f2f teaching services on the weekend. I am available for Skype online teaching to students from other countries.
