I am a professional candidate with communication skills that build a safe and friendly environment.

In my work experience as a youth worker, I developed my teaching skills. In this role, I supervised and supported activities and citizen workshops. My interpersonal skills created an effective line of communication for mentoring; I used creativity as a way to interact with service users and create a safe space.

My 150 hour TEFL teaching certificate structured my teaching and management skills. I now have skills in classroom management, lesson planning and teaching English as a foreign language. I have a fun and logical personality, this is great for interactive methods in a classroom setting. As an online ESL teacher, I was able to put these skills into practice.

I hope to be considered and I look forward to hearing from you.

Experience wise, I have demonstrated my commitment to education and childcare through roles such as Camp Manager at Starcamp, where I showcased leadership and organisational skills, and my current position as a special needs assistant at St. Vincent's Convent Primary School. My background in BA(Hons) Early Childhood Studies and ongoing pursuit of a Postgraduate Diploma in Play Therapy underpin my passion for working with children. Additionally, my previous employment at ABC Childcare further solidified my understanding of childcare practices. Recently, I completed a TEFL Level 5 Diploma, enhancing my qualifications for teaching English, particularly relevant for the position I am seeking in South Korea. On a personal level, I am known for my dedication to various hobbies such as playing the piano, singing, photography, videography, and maintaining an active lifestyle through gym workouts. These hobbies not only enrich my personal life but also contribute to my professional skill set, fostering creativity, discipline, and a well-rounded perspective. Furthermore, I value travel as a means of broadening my horizons and gaining cultural insights, which I believe enhances my ability to connect with and understand diverse groups of children and families.

I have previously worked with children between the ages of 3-10 whilst at Tinies. This included supervising the children and helping to plan and carry out activities that were engaging for them.

Whilst volunteering in Nepal I had to work with both children and adults who spoke a different language to me. I was still able to communicate with them in other ways and had good relationships within the community. As a group we also planned and presented informative presentations for the community which involved role plays – this included presentations specifically to school children.

Whilst working at the Eddystone trust I had to do presentations for college age students (aged 16-19) on sexual health topics. I had to make presentations engaging and also incorporate audience involvement. We also had to work at freshers fairs and speak with hundreds of people about sexual health. Both show I am confident and able to speak in front of a group of people.

I am patient and know that people learn at different speeds and in different ways so would be adaptable to this. I am also friendly and approachable so hopefully students would be happy to come to me with any questions. I am very enthusiastic and enjoy working with children as I love their creativity and energy.
