Early Years ESL Teacher, Designing Thematic Lesson Plans

Ruso, Inglés
Sobre mí
I am a certified early-years teacher (BA in Education, TEFL/TESOL) with 5+ years teaching children aged 2–10, including 2 years at an international kindergarten in China and 1 year at a kindergarten in Poland. I'm now based in Argentina.
I design thematic, inquiry-based lessons where English isn't the subject — it's the language kids think in. A "nature" unit isn't just vocabulary: 3–4 year olds discover how an orange grows entirely in English. They learn real content and pick up the language along the way.
Ideal for bilingual preschools, immersion programs, and homeschooling families.

Kindergarten Teacher
IEC Oriental Sun Kindergarten • Tiempo completo
Sep 2024 - Sep 2026 • 2 yrs
Taught English to preschool children aged 2-4 at an international kindergarten, delivering all lessons fully in English. I planned every lesson myself and built the materials to go with them — flashcards, songs, TPR games and hands-on activities, each unit built around one topic children could see and touch. Worked alongside Chinese homeroom teachers in a bilingual team, and communicated progress to parents.

GRAFEN Educational Centre • Tiempo completo
Sep 2022 - Jul 2024 • 1 yr 10 mos
Taught English to children aged 6–10 in small groups at a private education centre, alongside their regular school lessons. These children already had English at school, so my job was to turn it into something they actually used: games, short projects, speaking tasks and a lot of repetition dressed up so that it didn't feel like repetition. Groups were mixed-level, and I planned every lesson so the slowest child could still join in and the fastest one still had somewhere to go. Parents were paying for these lessons directly, which kept the focus on visible progress — I tracked what each child could actually say, not just what we had covered.

Open English School • Tiempo completo
Nov 2020 - Aug 2022 • 1 yr 9 mos
Taught English at a private language school in both group and one-to-one lessons, working with several age groups - 3-5, 6-7, 8-10 - and with students at different levels in the same week. A large part of the teaching was online, and that changed how I built materials. No objects to pass around, no board to point at: everything had to work on a screen and hold a child's attention through it. I rebuilt my activities for that — digital flashcards, shared slides, tasks a student could see and respond to with nothing in their hands. One-to-one lessons meant planning for one specific learner at a time: their level, the thing they were actually stuck on, and whatever kept them talking.
