About Me
Profile Type: Individual
Number of Employees: 1
As a student of the Ryerson University Publishing Certificate Program, I am currently completing courses in copy editing and substantive editing. My long-term goal is to secure a position with an academic publisher while completing freelance projects on the side.
I am currently employed as an English as a Second Language teacher at a Toronto private school, sharing my passion for language, correct spelling and proper grammar. This position requires advanced proficiency with the English language and its nuances. I hold TESL Canada Standard One teacher certification, with over 600 teaching hours. In addition to classes at the High-Intermediate level, I teach specialized courses in Business English and ESL Writing. I am also the Head Teacher for the High-Intermediate level.
Most recently, I have completed editing and proofreading projects for a self-publishing business author, including her 85-page manuscript and her book's back cover copy. Her reference information can be found below.
