My Teaching Experience

“I have been teaching ESL for five years, working with both beginner and advanced learners. My experience includes online and in-person teaching, with a strong focus on Business English for professionals. I have helped students improve their communication skills in areas such as email writing, presentations, negotiations, and workplace conversations. I have taught students from various industries, including finance, technology, and customer service, and I use real-world business scenarios to enhance their learning. I am also comfortable using online platforms like Microsoft Teams, Zoom, and Webex for delivering lessons.”

My Teaching Methodology

“My teaching methodology is student-centered and communicative. I believe in creating a supportive environment where students feel comfortable expressing themselves. I focus on real-world applications by incorporating task-based learning, where students practice skills they will use in their workplace, such as giving presentations, writing reports, or participating in meetings. I also use interactive activities like role-playing, discussions, and case studies to keep lessons engaging. Additionally, I personalize lessons based on each student’s goals and learning style, whether they prefer visual, auditory, or kinesthetic learning methods.”

Why am I interested in teaching with BUKI?

“I admire Buki’s commitment to high-quality language instruction and professional development. The opportunity to work with professionals globally and help them improve their business communication skills aligns with my teaching goals. I am also excited about the use of technology in Buki’s learning approach, as I enjoy leveraging digital tools to enhance the learning experience. Additionally, I appreciate Buki’s multicultural teaching community and the emphasis on continuous teacher development.”

Challenging thing I’ve had teaching online

“One challenge I faced while teaching online was maintaining student engagement, especially with busy professionals who often multitask during lessons. To overcome this, I incorporated more interactive elements such as polls, breakout room discussions, and real-life case studies relevant to their industry. I also made sure to personalize lessons to their specific job roles, making the content more practical and engaging for them.”
