I am an Irish artist and also work in childcare and have many years experience as an online ESL teacher.

My name is Edel Gelston and I am a teacher and visual artist. I currently teach children English online and have worked in education for over six years.

I am passionate about education, creativity and believe that learning is a life long journey. When it comes to my classes I prefer to tailor classes to my individual students needs. This is achieved by getting to know about each student using experience,patience, kindness and good humour.

Currently I am looking forward to my next steps into meeting new students and nurturing their learning journey through language and active communication.
