Shirley: United Kingdom: Sep 12, 2018

The experience of studying abroad for a year is my greatest asset as it gave me the opportunity to embrace and adapt to a different culture and environment. I took many classes which focused on teamwork and group presentations which allowed me to demonstrate how to communicate effectively and overcome conflict, as well as planning ahead and ensuring work was completed on time.

Being a good listener is a strength of mine as I believe observation is key when it comes to teaching because successful classes should be tailored around the students needs. I am also very energetic and friendly, especially around children, as I believe they should always feel comfortable around an adult; but more importantly, because teaching and learning should both be fun. I am open to learning new languages which is why I would love to be able to teach English to those willing to learn, as I believe this is the best way to meet new people and see more of the world.
