About Me
Introduction:
I am a 50yr old Accountant with over 27 yrs of experience, working in a corporate company leading the financial department. During this period, I was also in charge of the training and mentoring of all the junior accountants that joined the company. My passion for teaching lead me to volunteer at a local under privileged school teaching English to kids (5yr to 12yr), teenagers and adults. I know that learning English gives a person the opportunity to better their future.
My passion for education and my experience in mentoring and teaching makes me an ideal candidate for this position. My lessons are fun filled and relaxed giving the students the freedom to express themselves confidently and at their own time.
I would like to pursue my career in teaching and would love this opportunity to work with you and do what I do best.
