I have experience covering a wide array of industries, in a selection of roles, many of which have involved composing and running training sessions ranging from basic application use to on the job training and mentoring. From one-on-one coaching and tutoring sessions, to small group instruction, to full room presentations, I've imparted information and learning. Mainly corporate training, but having dealt with a wide range of people from interns just starting their working life to seasoned staff that have decades of experience, I've helped them all learn.
Maintinaing a friendly and professional manor, I pride myself on my patience and being approachable to all.

I have been tutoring peers and younger students since my high school years. I was in 4 honor societies in High School, all requiring a certain number of weekly tutoring hours. When I entered university, I began by tutoring my younger cousins and their school friends (ages 8-13) on all academic courses. As I have begun my senior year in university, I have started an academic internship at PYE Prep school that has allowed me to create lesson plans, create activity worksheets, and raise the standard of my academic work. I have also been able to teach English online with Native Camp. Native Camp works with citizens in Japan who want to improve their English production and reception comprehension. I am able to guide the students through lessons highlighting aspects that the students believe they need improvement on. In addition to these positions, I have recently begun working with Ruediger Elementary School as an activity leader. I create educational activities for the school students ages 4-11 and monitor the students during their afterschool programs.

I possess a diverse skill set honed through nearly three years of experience as an English Learning Facilitator for first-year university students. My proficiency extends to Microsoft PowerPoint, Microsoft Word, Blackboard, and Turnitin, showcasing my ability to proficiently navigate various educational tools. I am always eager to acquire new skills and tools. In addition to my technical expertise, I excel in teamwork, written communication, error identification and correction, creative writing, and providing constructive feedback. In my current role, I have become adept at facilitating group discussions, fostering critical thinking, and engaging students through thought-provoking activities. Furthermore, my aptitude for one-on-one consultations, conflict resolution, and unwavering commitment to academic growth reflect my dedication as an educator. With a deep passion for teaching and a penchant for creative thinking, I am enthusiastic about inspiring students to harness the transformative potential of learning English.

My passion for languages and linguistics is a significant aspect of my life. I aspire to gain fluency in at least eight languages by the age of 50, and I actively practice my French and Dutch in pursuit of that goal. My commitment to lifelong learning is underscored by my aspirations to pursue a Master's degree and potentially a Ph.D. in the future. However, before embarking on that journey, I am eager to share my expertise as a TEFL teacher for several years.

I am an individual with quiet interests, finding solace in activities such as painting, reading, gardening, hiking, and board games. Exploring museums and galleries is a frequent pastime, and I cherish spending hours at a local coffee shop, engaging in profound conversations with friends or delving into the pages of captivating novels.

I have extensive experience in education which varies from teaching English to Kindergarten students to teaching flying to student pilots both in England and Spain. I worked in care industry as well as Aviation in many years and met some amazing people along the way who helped me grow into a better person.
I am a very adaptable, patient, resourceful and orginased person. I work well in a team but also manage my tasks individually in a timely manner. My work history would prove that I have great inter personal skills and I can work with pretty much anyone. I love sharing my knowledge and experience with young people. I also care about educating young people so that they become confident, skilled and happy as the pillars of our future.
