My greatest strength I believe I have obtained in my life is perseverance.
Most recently this can be seen in my desire to pursue further academic achievement to obtain a Masters at the University of Birmingham. This required significant financial cost along with likely thousands of hours of person study and involvement to succeed. This I did to enrich myself in a field of study I found personally satisfying and to improve my career prospects once i have left University for good.

This perseverance has gone beyond just my academic life, further TEFL qualifications beyond the 120 hours that is considered the standard for EFL job positions and supplementing that with volunteering experience at my local Highschool as there is only so much that can be taught through an online course.

My time in air-cadets and the Muay Thai has shown me the personal reward physical activities can provide personally as well as shaping me in the team-orientated and excited individual that I am. Both qualities that I hope to impress upon my students .

My current application to the iTutorGroup for online teaching via webcam for winter-work will also provide me some real and consistent experience in teaching students a foreign language and show that i am able to consistently go the extra step to make myself a better teacher to students.
