Summary
Throughout my years of employment I have spent most of my time in a customer environment, which I have thoroughly enjoyed. I may hold a few years of teaching experience but I feel with my willingness to learn new exciting skills would make me an asset to any team and company.
I am a very punctual and approachable person, calm, enthusiastic, able to start work when needed, efficient hard working individual that can work as part of a team or on my own .At times there has been situations that have challenged me, causing me to step out of my comfort zone and quickly think on my feet, to find solutions to help resolve issues or situations.
I am friendly and open communicator with excellent time management skills. I have experience with holding interventions with students individually or in small groups, to support their learning needs. I am committed to supporting students reaching their potential academically and passionate about students achieving their objectives and goals for the future.
