As an English conversation teacher at Lomkaophittayakhom school, I taught over 400 students per semester with various levels of English. I developed and incorporated lesson plans based on student's skill levels to further their English-language competence. I effectively managed classes of 40 or more students while learning the Thai language. Working in a rural Thai town with a low level of English allowed me to work with people from diverse backgrounds and expand my skill set.
