Summary
Recently,I have been working as a part-time teaching assistant in the very busy area of Manchester, and as you know, Manchester is the city of mixed cultures. In schools, we have lots of students and parents who are new to English, and they need accurate interpretation at the time of any accident, or sometimes when the parents want to deliver their message in the right way, The school Head Teachers and my colleagues know that I am a confident speaker of Pashto, as Pashto is my Mother tongue, and Urdu as Urdu was my national langue back in my country Pakistan. I interpret for them, and I can write both languages, as we have been taught in all three languages in our country, because they were compulsory subjects in government schools during my time of education. So I am a confident speaker of English, Pashto, and Urdu. My English speaking skills have improved because of my job here in the UK over the last four years. Confident communicator fluent in multiple languages with aknack for bridging cultural gaps. Excel at active listening, empathy, and maintaining confidentiality. Proven problem-solver who can think on feet and adapt to diverse situations. Skilled in building rapport with individuals from varied backgrounds, ensuring clear and effective communication.
