I am a conscientious worker, with strong communication skills and the ability to use my own initiative in tense or complex situations.
I am also a quick learner, with a strong regard for attention to detail. I have had ten years experience working in the TV industry in the UK. This required working to deadlines, time constraints and ever changing requirements. It was also my job to make sure large groups of people were updated with information that was imperative to the production. Time management, setting and completing tasks and considering which jobs took priority, when unplanned, was a daily expectancy.
My role included reading scripts, keeping on top of language, grammar and formatting to a high standard, to ensure that producers, actors and crew members were given quality material.

I work well in a team, however I am able to work on my own in completing work. I enjoy socialising, learning about different people, traditions and cultures. I have an innate ability to adapt to whatever environment I am in and people I am with, positivity and empathy.

The vast majority of my experience involves corporate consulting of a finance nature. This has allowed me to hone in skills such as communication, negotiation, analysis, time management and many more.

Relevant to teaching, I had the privilege of being appointed as a third year marketing tutor during my final honors year in University. This experience made me appreciate being able to play a pivotal part in my student's lives by being a catalyst in them learning and gaining interest in the subject matter. In addition to this I currently tutor under privileged children high school maths as volunteer work on weekends.

I am a very social person who enjoys interacting with people from all backgrounds of life. I enjoy travelling, trying out new food and technology. Lastly, I enjoy being around young people and being able to share worldly good values that are of importance in life.

I love to learn new facts and new skills and always want to improve my skills. I am an easily approachable and have a good ear.

My skills that are critical for any teaching position as an ESL teacher is that I can easily share difficult information with people who are not so familiar with the information. I have learned that the best way of learning something new is through having fun and doing it in a creative way.

I am from South Africa and have a bachelor’s degree in Agricultural Economics and a 120-hour TEFL certificate I am familiar with and know how to teach US Common Core State Standards.

Beyond all the requirements that you have asked for, you will find that I am probably one of the most energetic teachers you ever met. I have grown to love teaching and teaching kids is rewarding. Teaching is my passion, and I look forward to working with you.

As a result of perfecting my writing and speaking skills in University, I have an excellent command of the English language. I pride myself in my patience and compassion for others. I am also hardworking and passionate about teaching my students. I have experience teaching English as a second language in China which has provided me with skills such as lesson planning and classroom management. I taught varying levels ranging from 5-12 years old. I am capable of adapting to any level and effectively teaching a class.

Throughout my career I have taught employees how to use specialist computer software and regularly presented reports on IT efficiency at a Solicitor’s firm. In addition to this I worked as a freelance web/graphic designer in my spare time, and had the opportunity to mentor children interested in this field.

Mentoring children has made me realise that I have a passion for sharing knowledge and teaching people. My natural, positive nature and optimistic outlook resonates well with children. My interest in culture, travel and language, and my great communication skills, means that I can quickly build relationships and inspire children to realise their potential. I decided to enrol on an online and classroom-based TEFL course which has equipped me with grammar & language awareness, classroom management skills and an array of teaching methodologies.

I'm an energetic, enthusiastic and adaptable candidate with a great passion for teaching and learning. I can’t wait to get started to share that passion with the next generation of talented, bilingual students.

Teaching preschool for seven years and earning a bachelor's degree in education has taught me many things. My university classes taught me how to create engaging lesson plans and teach with intent. Teaching in an actual classroom taught me how to be flexible with students and gave me the tools to be an effective teacher. As someone who has worked with other teachers, I've learned the importance of teamwork, flexibility and the importance of having good communication as a team.

I am extremely dynamic, hard working and results driven. I am able to adapt to any situation and willing to go the extra mile for the job. I am passionate about children and their academic success. I will work to the best of my ability to ensure their success both academically as well as socially.
