Personal Profile

I am an education professional who has recently moved to the UK from Ukraine. I have almost 20 years’ experience as an English teacher and have worked with pupils ranging from primary age to 16 years old. I enjoy using innovative teaching methods, such as associative memorisation to help students learn new words and concepts, and I am energetic, determined, conscientious and courteous. I always strive to encourage, support and reward my pupils, and always rejoice with them for the results they have obtained. I am also organised and highly flexible in my approach to tasks, very cooperative and committed to my work, resistant to stress in the workplace, and very good at learning new skills. I am now looking for a challenging new teaching-related role at a progressive establishment and would be very appreciative if you would consider me as a future member of your staff.
