I have not formally taught, but I worked many retail jobs which helped me acquire many skills for working in fast-paced environments. I have also become adept at confronting unexpected situations and working in team-based environments. I am a patient person, have good communication skills, respect for others, can adapt well to unexpected situations, and have compassion for others. These are all traits that I think would aid me in my teaching journey.
Patience is important, as it is easy to become frustrated with the lack of understanding that may happen in a classroom. Good communication will aid in the flow of conversation and explanation of concepts. Being able to adapt well to unexpected situations can help with the upkeep of harmony in the classroom. Respect is something everyone should be granted, regardless of hierarchy, and having compassion for students learning something new is indispensable as it can help them feel more comfortable asking for help when needed.

I am very good at communicating with others as well as problem solving when it comes to issues that need to be resolved. I am very flexible and adaptable to changes that need to be made if it is communicated to me. I'm very energetic and I really like to help where there is a need.

I possess a strong background in communication, problem-solving, and adaptability. My experience working with the Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada has taught me the importance of attention to detail, multitasking, and working under pressure. Additionally, my experience as a Taxpayer Service Agent has improved my ability to provide clear explanations and clarifications to clients.

I am an empathic and patient individual with good interpersonal skills, allowing me to work effectively with diverse community members.

I am a bilingual English and French speaker with good oral and written communication skills. My adaptability in vocabulary and speaking style enables me to communicate effectively with clients from diverse backgrounds.

My biggest strength is my compassion. I always have a smile on my face and I am very approachable. I am also resilient. Even if I am tired or if I am just having a bad day, my face never shows it. I never let negativity affect my actions or my work. In other words, my kindness and compassion does not waiver. I have been a guitar teacher for many years and I have become proficient in building rapport with students. I have a knack for engaging young learners and making their learning experience fun. My experience working as a music teacher and as a summer camp counsellor has allowed me to understand what it takes to be a fun but effective communicator. I intend to carry these strengths with me into the English classroom. After completing my TEFL certification at ITTT, I am confident in my abilities to conduct a classroom of young learners. While I recognize I have much to learn in the realm of formal teaching, my experience as a music teacher has allowed me to excel at building rapport with children and engaging them in learning material.

I am passionate, determined, and adaptable. I believe that these qualities are what will make me a strong ESL teacher. I have worked in many different environments where I was tasked with training and teaching people from various walks of life, including varying ages, cultures, and English language levels. These teachings have included the knowledge of legal documents to those whose first language was not English such as clients from Pakistan and Türkiye. Additionally, I have given speeches to prisoners with mental health issues to ensure that they had the relevant information upon their release. I currently work as a clerk in a warehouse where English is not the first language of the majority of the staff. This has been a barrier to learn and overcome so that we can work professionally and efficiently whilst also learning about each other's cultures.

My skills include time management, organisation, written and verbal communication to a high standard. The time management can be seen by my current work where I undertake many tasks in one shift to ensure that the warehouse runs smoothly. It can additionally be seen between my professional life and my spare time where I ensure that I make time to relax whilst also writing my third novel.

I am eager to learn more about the world, and to learn from different cultures, languages, and people. This eagerness and passion for other ways of life stems from my own upbringing where my childhood was spent in the Caribbean surrounded by different people and cultures. I have enjoyed travel and the idea that there is so much left to learn about the world, ever since.
