兴趣: I am a native English-speaking graduate and a UK citizen. I have passed a 168 hour Level 5 TEFL Certificate with The TEFL Academy, achieving a merit.
Living abroad from an early age, I have always been submerged within a multicultural environment and thoroughly enjoyed interacting with different cultures. Living in so many countries has also forced me to embrace change and adapt quickly to new environments.
I have completed a masters degree in economics so I have a lot of experience being in education. Additionally, whilst completing tefl I served as a trustworthy babysitter for families looking after three children between the ages of 4-15. My babysitting skills and experience, along with my positive attitude and friendly nature, position me to excel in this role.
