Samuel: United Kingdom: Mar 01, 2021

I have completed a 120-hour TESOL online certification with the International Open Academy, and am currently waiting to complete the 20-hour classroom practicum of a 120-hour TEFL certification with The TEFL Org, which has unfortunately been postponed due to COVID-19. Taking two different courses has enabled me to gain a varied knowledge of methodologies, in addition to my exceptional native proficiency, which I can utilise to great success within your school.



I have also held tutoring and student mentoring roles during my time at university; I worked as a mathematics tutor at California State University Long Beach, helping younger students work through topics and concepts related to their courses, and a student mentor at the University of Hertfordshire, providing support and guidance to new students as they settled in to college life. These experiences have given me a solid foundation of knowledge to build upon and succeed in the classroom.



Having lived in the UK, US and Australia, and travelled to many more countries, I am very familiar with immersing myself in new cultures and surroundings, and being around people whose first language is not English. I have previously studied French for six years in total, and am currently learning Spanish independently, so understand the niches that come with learning a new language. I pride myself in my ability to embrace challenges in different environments, and I believe my charismatic and confident personality will allow me to succeed in this role.
