I am Hamed Hashemian, 31 years old from Iran. I am considered to be a non-native ESL teacher. I believe that being a non- native teacher is found to be a huge bonus point since I went through all the ups and downs of learning English as a second language. Therefore, I am well aware of the probable challenges that pupils may encounter and would be able to provide them with helpful plus constructive suggestions as well as practical solutions. Several years of sustaining interest and participation in teaching (+14 years) have given me the much endeared opportunity to teach a wide range of learners, employing universally recognized methodological trends. Thankfully, the practice has been conducive both to my professional improvement, from a green ESL teacher to a Cambridge and British Council certified teacher trainer, and to the development of my relevant interpersonal skills. As for my qualifications, I hold a master’s degree in the field of English language teaching, as well as the CELTA from Cambridge and even I have been professionally involved in online teaching certified by international house London. I have moreover taken part in countless number of training courses as well as professional development webinars. Concerning my personal characteristics, I have always tried to acquire the best provided and to offer the highest my intellectual capacity has been able to afford. I am also an emotional but hard working person who becomes highly dedicated the moment it comes to improving any aspect of human life. During the course of the past decade, I have as well had the golden opportunity to take trips to destinations as geographically and culturally diverse as Qatar, Azerbaijan, Thailand, Turkey, Emirates, and Malaysia, the longest last of which provided me with the opportunity to get to teach nationally varied students in multicultural teaching environments.
