I have worked for a bank (NatWest) for over 5 years and this has helped me to develop excellent communication skills with people of all ages including children. This job has given me the opportunity to train new members of staff which would help me with teaching English as I am aware of how difficult it can be to learn new skills. As a result I am very patient, empathetic and hard working. As a teacher, I would bring these qualities as well as making the lessons fun which I feel is very important. I would bring enthusiasm to the classroom as well as being very prepared for each lesson. These traits will help the students to learn time management, hard work and to make it an enjoyable environment for them to learn English.

During my time in the Planning Committee of FOCUS, a program for first-generation college students I became well adjusted and acquired many skills that were essential to the role. My interpersonal and organizational skills excelled as I was able to effectively communicate with various administrations and companies to allow for a smooth operation of a scholarly event. Furthermore, being a mentor helped my fundamentals and shaped my career path which strengthened my networking and critical thinking skills. By teaching the first-generation students and being a positive role model in their lives I began to grow as an individual. I also acquired a keen sense to detail and time management while working my part time job as a personal shopper as I was in charge of many customer orders as well as training and teaching new hires the duties of the job. As well as my time at these places, I volunteered at a youth care center, this allowed me to engage in various activities with K-12 students further expanding my skillset.

I am a motivated worker who always brings her best. I work well as part of a team, and also flourish when working alone. I enjoy meeting new people, having new experiences and travelling. I am a positive person who likes to put a smile on peoples faces and make others laugh. I am also good with time, and enjoy planning out my free time and using a diary to keep track of any events in my life.

I am tech savvy, which I believe is an extremely useful skill. I am a good listener, I enjoy letting other talk and listening to their problems – a main reason why I chose to study Psychology at University. I would consider myself to have good communication skills, and good with self-management.

I volunteered in a primary school a few years ago, helping teach literacy and take care of the kids (aged 5-8). I also have a younger sister who I have helped study during her GCSE's and now A-levels. I am easily adaptable and learn quickly.
