Profile
A prompt, professional, and reliable English teacher, coordinator, and official exams
controller who has a long track of being able to foster a positive classroom
environment in order to make students reach the highest level of education. Being
always ready to demonstrate in any paced environment makes me involved in any up to

am a great communicator and listener, and have the ability to understand a student’s
needs. I always work on creating lesson plans, organizing work flow and find different
ways in interacting with the students. Education is a passion of mine and creating a
safe, friendly and productive environment for my students to learn is a top priority.
With my experience and set of skills I feel that I would make a great asset to your
team.
