English/EFL/ IELTS teacher- teenagers and adults, general English and IELTS preparation

I am a CELTA qualified English language teacher, working on my MA thesis in TEFL with 12 years of hands-on experience in the field. Following my training, I started teaching all age groups with different needs and priorities, but primarily focused on achieving conversational fluency. Having taught years of general English, I decided to branch out into exam preparation which motivated me to prepare for and sit the IELTS exam in 2014. After obtaining the overall band score 8.5 with two skills (speaking and reading ) identified at expert level, I received some lucrative employment offers from a number of reputable local schools looking to recruit certified IELTS instructors. Ever since, I have been constantly in pursuit of professional development and keeping up-to-date with IELTS. At the present time, I would like to broaden my experience with different groups of language learners internationally.
