Experience – I have 3 years experience delivering workshops in the creative sector to young adults and children. Working as a mentor, paying and delivering creative, engaging workshops to a range of ages and working on student development in new skills.

Personality – I am a high energy, enthusiastic person willing to adapt and learn on the job. My professional work life has made me patient and professionals in high stress situations as well as being a reliable person to get the job done to a high standard.

Skills – Relatable skills I have which are transferable from my previous job roles are that I’m highly organised, confident with public speaking to large groups and communicating with young learners, clear at communicating instructions, good at implementing active learning to make learning new skills fun

A Languages graduate with a PGCE in French and Russian, I bring a strong international profile shaped by academic excellence and hands-on experience across the UK, France, and Hong Kong. My professional background spans education, programme coordination, and student engagement, including designing curricula, leading enrichment programmes, and managing large-scale events. I have consistently worked in fast-paced, multicultural environments, developing initiatives that improve student confidence, participation, and outcomes. Alongside this, I have maintained a long-standing freelance tuition practice, adapting to diverse learning needs and supporting high academic achievement.

I am an energetic, outward-facing professional who thrives in dynamic, people-focused environments. I bring a natural ability to build rapport, motivate others, and create engaging, inclusive experiences. Highly adaptable and internationally minded, I am comfortable navigating new contexts, leading initiatives, and working both independently and collaboratively. I value clear structure and purpose, while maintaining a positive, solutions-oriented approach.

My core strengths lie in communication, organisation, and interpersonal impact. I combine strong presentation and facilitation skills with experience in programme delivery, events management, and social media engagement. I am confident working across cultures and disciplines, with proven ability to coordinate stakeholders, manage competing priorities, and deliver high-quality outcomes. My additional training in counselling, wellbeing, and neurodiversity provisions further strengthens my ability to support individuals effectively and thoughtfully.

My experience spans over four years of English language teaching across tutoring, literacy programmes, and public education — complemented by a CELTA from the University of Cambridge and a background in marketing management. I’ve worked with primary-aged children, adult international learners, and large public audiences, which means I’m comfortable adapting to learners of very different nationalities, abilities, and goals.

In terms of personality, I’m naturally curious about people and the world — I hold dual citizenship, love to travel, and genuinely believe in cross-cultural understanding. That outlook makes multicultural classrooms feel like home rather than a challenge. I’m also organised and detail-oriented, shaped by years of deadline-driven communications work.

My core skills include learner-centred curriculum development, one-on-one and group instruction, and clear public presentation. My marketing career added precision in written communication and confidence with administrative tasks like record-keeping and reporting — so I’m equally comfortable in the classroom and behind the scenes.

Adaptable, able to work with others and a quick learner

Hi, my name is Emily, and I graduated from Rutgers University with a bachelors of science in May 2024. My personality is friendly, communicative, and curious.
Throughout my work experience, I’ve consistently worked in roles that required strong communication and teaching skills. For example, as a fitness specialist, I guide clients by clearly explaining concepts and adapting my communication style to different individuals. During my internship in Japan, I led over 50 tours for international visitors in a group setting, where I explained processes to non-native and native English speakers and developed strong cross-cultural communication skills.

My strengths are having an easy-going personality, being highly adaptive and flexible to any work environment. I have excellent customer service skills and proficient knowledge of general computer skills, especially with Microsoft Office programs.
