    About Jason T.

    (95)
    I bring over 18 years of expertise as a seasoned ESL professional, specializing in English/English as a Second Language education. Holding a TEFL certification alongside a Bachelor's degree in Political Science from Florida State University, I commenced my teaching journey in Kathmandu, Nepal in 2007. Subsequently, I expanded my teaching portfolio in Thailand, encompassing provincial schools, international institutions, and universities. My evolution in education led me to the realm of online teaching, where I had the privilege of instructing students worldwide, spanning various ages and proficiency levels. From nurturing young minds in Kindergarten to guiding aspiring scholars in universities, and catering to the English needs of business professionals, my pedagogy embraced diverse learners. As an Academic Director, I engineered dynamic, engaging, and interactive lesson plans, ensuring sustained student involvement. Throughout my tenure, I've adeptly tutored students of all proficiency levels, adeptly tailoring lessons to meet individual learning requisites. Whether bolstering grammar skills or fostering fluent conversational abilities for travel, I adeptly customize lessons. Should your aspirations involve honing business English, perfecting pronunciation, acing TOEIC/IELTS tests, or engaging in discussions on current affairs, your sessions will be meticulously crafted to match your learning objectives. Expect vibrant and spirited classes, where learning becomes an enjoyable endeavor rather than a mere task.

The visits also would facilitate communication between management and branch staff and helped to address any concerns each location may have and suggest any resolutions to problems encountered during visits. Follow up visits were done as need to check on progress of suggested changes mentioned in the previous visit. • Grew the number of students who signed up for courses by 22%. In addition to new students, I oversaw the increase in the number of students who extended their course or re-signed for new courses by 45%. • Succeeded in training 137 ESL teachers of which 100% of those trained went on to full-time employment in one of the eleven branches throughout Thailand under the I-Genius Kids umbrella. • Created a Teacher Performance & Lesson Quality Review system where teachers’ classes could be monitored, and feedback given in order to improve lesson quality. • Instrumental in creating a theme-based system for students to learn English as a Second Language which increase sales of courses for our youngest age group (1 ½ to 5 years old) by 12%. • Coordinated with members of marketing and sales teams to develop new lessons and materials for primary-aged children • Raised students’ language retention ability and vocabulary test scores during monthly testing of intermediate and advanced level students, which say a 10% rise compared to the previous academic year.
