Narelle Lewis

I'm an ESL teacher, language lover, and community organiser. Based on the Gold Coast, Australia, I have over a decade of international teaching experience and a passion for cultural exchange. I help students of all ages feel confident and empowered in English.

ESL TEACHER

I teach full time at a local language school in Southport, Gold Coast, working with adult and young learners from diverse cultural backgrounds. My approach is practical, engaging, and tailored to real-world communication needs.

I hold a valid Blue Card (Working with Children Check) and have experience across all proficiency levels, from beginners to advanced. With over a decade of local and international classroom experience in France, Andorra, Scotland, and now Australia, I bring a wealth of knowledge to every lesson.

I am open to part-time evening ESL roles with schools, training organisations, or community programmes.

ABOUT ME

I grew up on the Gold Coast but spent over 20 years living and working in France, Andorra, Scotland, and the U.S. I speak fluent French and Spanish, and have always been drawn to languages, communication, and building inclusive communities.

I began teaching English in the south of France and taught at universities, engineering schools, language centres, including the University of Toulouse, Paul Sabatier University, and l’IPSA. I’ve taught learners of all ages and levels, and love helping students feel more confident using English.

Since returning to Australia in 2022, I’ve re-established my teaching career following a Posgraduate Certificate in TESOL from Griffith University and have been teaching at language schools on the Gold Coast since June 2025.

GOLD COAST INTERNATIONAL CLUB

In July 2022, I founded the Gold Coast International Club, which is a social community for people who love travel, languages, and culture.

The club now includes:

  • Nearly 4,000 Instagram followers

  • Over 500 active WhatsApp members

  • Regular events like hikes, BBQs, language exchanges, game nights, and road trips

Many members are international students, working holiday makers, or locals looking to practise other languages and meet people from around the world. I’m now expanding the club to include curated local tours that showcase the unique beauty of the Gold Coast region.
