I love to teach and I love people. I am very patient, understanding and caring. I want my students to be happy about learning. I also want them to be confident about the subject-matter they are seeking to learn. Confidence comes when they believe in themselves and apply what they are taught to real life situations.
When they take the time to learn the material and review it often they will remember it more easily and they will develop more self-confidence.
I believe I would be a great addition to your team because I am flexible, easy to relate to and I am a team player. I respect others and I want each person to feel good about themselves. I am very competent in English and I also have excellent editorial skills. Having a keen eye to detect and correct mistakes in writing have proven to be valuable assets in the work environment and will ensure that your final work product is outstanding. It is this spirit of excellence that I want to impart to my students so they too will leave an indelible and favorable impression on those they have to interact with on a day to day basis.
