Elliott

Profession: Front of House Staff Member
Hospitality and Tourism
I most recently worked as a waiter in a well-known UK restaurant chain, where I met and served customers from all walks of life on a daily basis.

Translation Project Coordinator
Law
Just prior to the pandemic, I worked as a translation project coordinator, where I managed multiple projects simultaneously and helped resolve any questions or problems clients or contracted translators had.

Intérêts: • I would describe myself as passionate, patient, and person oriented. I love to travel and meet new people, learning more about their cultures, cuisine and perspectives on the world. In fact, I only recently returned from Canada, and I hope to visit Australia next year. I am also an avid reader and I really enjoy watching films and TV series when I have the time.
• I am a trained translator, and I have worked as a project manager in a large company, but I have also worked in customer service and volunteered in schools to help young people learn French. This combined experience has gifted me with a variety of perspectives and fuelled my passion for collaborating with other people so we can all learn something new.
• In terms of my classes, I prefer to vary the content and work holistically on language learning (in other words, learn about the history/culture/politics of the English-speaking world as well as the features of the English language itself). However, ultimately the content will be tailored around you – what are your language-learning goals? What interests you? Where could you improve? Let’s work together to achieve great results.
