Summary
I am a Bachelor degree graduate of the University of Sheffield (Russell Group University, QS World University Top 100 2023), seeking to develop my career as a teacher in China. I am disciplined and reliable individual in everything that I do. I have a passion for English Literature, which equips me with excellent communication skills and allows my confidence to flourish when interacting with all different kinds of people. I have a deep interest in discovering other cultures and languages and I am intermediate level in Spanish and Korean. I have recently began my journey learning Chinese, and wish to advance my level whilst working in China. My previous experience as a Dance teacher and Student Ambassador at the University of Sheffield encouraged me to consider a career that could inspire and enrich young people's lives. My experience as a Kindergarten English Teacher equipped me with expertise in building engaging lesson plans and communicating ideas to foster student comprehension. I also gained experience adapting course materials to meet established standards and individual academic capabilities.
I would describe myself as down to earth, conscientious and a reliable character who never says no to a challenge. I am bubbly and outgoing and work excellently in a team as well as independently. If you employ me, I would guarantee my confident and commendable attitude, punctuality and smart appearance.
