I am a fantastic communicator with experience working in a Law firm in the United Kingdom, I am outgoing, friendly and have experience coaching football to children between the age ranges of 5-18.

Although I do not have any experience teaching English as a foreign language, I have obtained a TEFL certificate and believe that I have the characteristics to make a fantastic teacher. Alongside this I am open-minded and would love to get the opportunity to explore and embrace a new country.

Experience:
I have a strong background in leadership, organization, and communication, demonstrated through my roles as a Lead Agent/Flight Controller and Passenger Service Agent. These positions required managing teams, ensuring compliance with regulations, and coordinating with multiple stakeholders under high-pressure environments. Additionally, my academic achievements, including a Master's in International Security and Conflict Studies and a Bachelor's in Economics, Politics, and Law, have equipped me with analytical skills and a global perspective.
Personality:
I am highly adaptable, dependable, and driven. My experience as a swimming instructor and lifeguard highlights my ability to work well with diverse age groups and maintain composure in challenging situations. I thrive in team settings but am equally comfortable taking initiative when necessary.
Skills:
I excel in teamwork, problem-solving, and time management. My certifications in first aid and cardiac response reflect my commitment to safety and preparedness. Furthermore, my ability to communicate effectively ensures clear interactions with colleagues, students, and parents. This summary aligns your strengths with the requirements of a TEFL position while maintaining professionalism.

In November of 2023, I graudated with my Masters degree in English. I also have my TEFL certification, which I recieved last fall. I have several years of experience as a writer and editor, and have an in-depth understanding of the English language, how it's put together, and how it is and can be used. In my current position at work, I am a content manager, aiding others in their use of the language for casual as well as more professional tasks. I have also tutored students and family friends with their English essays and projects, which has allowed me to continully refine how I can express concepts in a simple, effective way.

I've had a love for language and literature since I was a child. As I’ve grown and expanded on my education and passions, I’ve come to develop an admiration for other languages alongside my native tongue. Language is an art in many forms, and no matter the language that someone speaks, it is something that should be appreciated, studied, and most importantly, shared, seeing just how interconnected our world has become.

Alongside being a lifelong learner, travelling, and doing all I can to experience new places and cultures, I am someone who has learned how to adapt to many settings and circumstances when needed, including knowing when to ask for help and collaborate with others and when to take initiative and focus on a task individually. With all that said, I would love to teach to help others find their own love for language. A whole new world opens up when you immerse yourself in something new and I would love to be the person who opens that door for children and adults alike.

I have two years of teaching experience in college, and in high school I served as a mentor for a kindergarten-aged girl, so I am familiar with both teaching and working with kids. I also think of myself as a friendly, patient person. In terms of skills I am good at copyediting, organization, completing tasks in a timely manner, and communicating both with coworkers and superiors.
