Mark Bahnisch

teacher

I hold a PhD in Social Science from QUT and multiple qualifications, including a TESOL certificate, a Graduate Certificate of Arts in Applied Linguistics from UNE, and a Graduate Certificate in Education (TESOL) from UNSW. My teaching experience spans two years in Sydney focusing on English for Academic Purposes (EAP) and three years in Brisbane teaching General English in an ELICOS context. I have significant experience in assessing English language proficiency, evaluating student progress, and in designing curriculum and individual lesson plans. My expertise in English language teaching methodologies is tailored to speakers of other languages. I have successfully taught various proficiency levels across diverse programs, including IELTS and Cambridge preparation. My dedication to high teaching standards ensures an effective and engaging learning experience for students. Believing collaboration is key to a successful teaching environment, I excel at working as part of a team. My strong interpersonal communication skills foster a positive and collaborative atmosphere with colleagues and students. Furthermore, my experience in managing diverse classrooms and working in dynamic teaching settings has equipped me with the necessary flexibility and pragmatism to adapt to changing environments.
