I graduated from University in 2018 with a BA in History. I knew I wanted to do a Masters degree, so I completed a TEFL Certificate in order to go teaching abroad to save money for my degree.

I went to Russia for a year, quickly learning how to teach and picking up skills. I was observed in classes and received feedback on my lessons, which led to my improvement.

Although I was asked to stay in Russia and carry on teaching, I left to do my Masters degree, as I knew it would be the last opportunity I had to do it.

I've now completed my Masters degree and wish to get back into teaching, as it's the most rewarding thing I've ever done. I enjoy the job, getting to know the students and experiencing life in a different culture.

I think I'm a reasonably competent teacher, as my former school will attest and can provide a reference. However, no-one is perfect and my teaching style and confidence will certainly improve as I gain more experience. I'm always looking to grow and learn new things.
