Conducting online ESL lessons has afforded me a wealth of experience and expertise in language instruction across different cultural backgrounds. I have honed the ability to create engaging and effective lesson plans based on the needs of the students across all age groups, together with my understanding of diverse learning styles and unique personalities has allowed me to cater to the unique needs of my students. I have learned great patience, cultural sensitivity, and strong communication skills create a positive and inclusive learning environment.

In sales, I have paid particular attention to my communication skills, product knowledge and preparation as this aids the customer to business experience greatly. I have used my natural empathy and understanding in order to to build relationships and establish trust with the client. I have learned the importance of time management of deadlines as well as overall workload management is essential to ensure work demands are adhered to.

As a psychology graduate, I was able to learn more about human behaviour and as such it greatly aids my teaching and sales approaches. My analytical skills and empathy enhance my ability to connect with people, whether in a classroom or sales setting.

I feel my career thus far has allowed me to become adaptable, effective at communication, and have a general understanding of human behavior. I am very much adventurous but also quite introverted but I have realised that balance in all aspects of life is key.
