I have been teaching English in Asia for 6 years so far and loved every second of it. My expertise includes IELTS, IGCSE English as Second Language and AS Language and Literature. A great amount of my time is spent in the preparation of engaging lessons. Therefore, I hope my resources can be of some help to all my fellow teachers.
