Hi everyone
I am very interested in meeting new people and learning about different cultures and countries. For the past few years I have been semi-retired. My background is in Social Work and I have a BA (Social Work) degree. I recently completed a TEFL course and obtained a certificate. I am easy to talk to and am a calm, patient and empathic person. I enjoy new experiences and challenges.
Me as a Teacher
I have also been employed for three years as a part time online Community Tutor, assisting students with conversational English, grammar, pronunciation of words, practise for interviews, English homework, speeches and discussing topics of interest. I am fluent in my native language and will help you improve your English through natural conversation and practice for interviews, English homework and speeches.
