Experienced English Teacher in Tirana

My name is Victor and I am originally from South Africa, but I have also lived in New Zeeland, Germany, the United Arab Emirates and Thailand. I graduated with a bachelor’s degree in Communication Science from the University of South Africa, and I also completed a TEFL certificate from the TEFL Academy in the UK.

I decided to become a teacher because I love the English language and I wanted to share my passion and knowledge with others. I also enjoy meeting people and learning about different places, therefor teaching English allows me to combine my passion for teaching with my desire to meet people from all over the world.

I have been working as an English teacher for three and a half years. Most recently, I was employed as an English teacher at I Can Read in Thailand. At I Can Read I was responsible for teaching phonics and literacy skills to young students between the ages of 5 and 13. Additionally, I gained significant experience teaching grammar, essay writing, presentation skills and conversation. I also have experience of teaching private English classes online and in-person.

During my classes I always aim to ensure that my students feel comfortable and encouraged. I believe students learn best when they feel comfortable to express themselves. Furthermore, I strive to motivate my students to use the language by relating it to their lives and their interests.

In my free time I enjoy exercising, reading, travelling, and playing guitar. I also have a passion for animals, and I have extensive experience volunteering at animal rescue centers.
