David Mark: United Kingdom: Oct 11, 2018

I am a native English speaker and a British citizen who has recently graduated with a university degree and I have also completed a 168 hour TEFL course. I have a genuine interest in helping to broaden the minds of other people through teaching as I believe education is one of the most important aspects of people’s lives and learning a foreign language is an amazing opportunity to bring people together.
For the past year I have worked as a volunteer at the Polish Centre in my home city of Newcastle upon Tyne teaching Basic English to Polish immigrants who have started new lives in the United Kingdom. During my time as a union rep I was often required to give brief lectures on worker’s rights to new employees that started with the company I previously worked for. During my time as a student studying for my degree I was required to give numerous presentations to both academic and non-academic audiences explaining my research and experimental instructions for my dissertation and as well group discussions.
