Jean-luc: United Kingdom: Dec 01, 2020

I attended the University of the Highlands and Islands.Gaining my BA (Hons) in History and Politics on the 30th July 2018, achieving upper second class honours. I then acquired my Mlitt in History the following year, achieving a passing grade. At university I completed modules that focus on British politics, culture and history such as the ‘British identities’ module. This will enable me to instill a sense of culture into my lessons.

During my undergraduate and masters I have worked mainly in kitchens, such as at the Dornoch Patisserie and Jurys Inn. At these jobs I have become skilled at working as part of a team in a busy, often hectic enviroment. I was also responsible for the training of new staff at both of these businesses which helped me realize how much I enjoyed teaching.

This has made it my goal to acquire a teaching position. To this end I completed a 140-hour TEFL.org course. This included, video observation, teaching large classes, Telephone Teaching Course, Methodology and Grammar modules. This has given me a strong introduction to teaching English, which I hope to expand upon in acquiring employment as an English teacher.
