My Summary
About Me
As I am considered by many to be a lady with a warm character and a passion for education, I am looking for a role in the educational sector, particularly office administration in an educational setting and/or English tutoring. I also enjoy editing and possess a fast and accurate typing speed. Please note that I also hold a PVG certification.
I have always loved anything to do with education, from assisting horse riding lessons, swimming lessons, reading, homework and Sunday school. After becoming a mother and studying child psychology, I then went onto complete a Learn-To-Swim course and started working in the aquatic industry. I was then given the opportunity to teach all age groups and tutor in the English and the Creative Arts, which I thoroughly enjoyed.
My duties have included: mentoring learners, study techniques, monitoring task work, offering administrative assistance, exam invigilation, creating and delivering lesson plans, dealing with parents, reports and introducing new activities to the children.
I have also assisted with accounting in the school office, given school tours, managed and coordinated after care activities.
My teaching skills comprise of teaching basic Maths, English and Reading lessons from Grade 1 - 3, including teaching pupils with special needs.
In October 2020 we moved to the UK and in 2021 I started working as a Bank Support Assistant at a nursery school and then accepted various temping roles in the corporate arena.
During this time I have also completed online courses.
Some lovely comments from my references are: A social person, with a willingness to take on new tasks, a calm manner, fair and respectful, excellent people skills, , a keen understanding of the different developmental milestones of all the different age groups, friendly and favourable feedback, an asset to anyone's team, highly recommended.
