Terri Newman

With a Level 5 TEFL Diploma obtained in April of this year, I bring immediate, practical experience across a range of teaching contexts, demonstrating my versatility and passion for effective language education.

?My recent experience includes teaching conversational English to adult immigrants in Ireland with the Nano Nagle Centre in Cork.

This involved an immersion-based approach, utilizing real-life scenarios and practical examples to build fluency and confidence quickly, ensuring language skills are immediately applicable outside the classroom. This method proved to work with adults only.

?In parallel, I have taught 7-year-old 2nd-grade students, designing engaging lessons that cater to their learning style. I effectively integrated educational games, puzzles, and reading comprehension activities, complemented by worksheets. I focused on developing music listening skills to enhance auditory processing and concentration.

?Additionally, I provide online tutoring focused on professional development, specifically teaching the STAR method to individuals seeking to gain excellent job interview skills.

This diverse experience highlights my ability to adapt instructional methods from structured phonics and games for children to advanced professional communication strategies for adults.
