About me
I have just returned from London after a 4 year adventure in Spain. I'm easy-going but I like to be practical and try to avoid faff when working on anything: I'm a get-things-done kind of person. For the last four years I have been self-employed, and although I have been working alone, the nature of my work meant that I have developed very strong people and communication skills - I can still be serious and do the job, but I'd like to think that I manage it in a way that people don't even realise they're working towards something.

English Teacher
-
In-company small group professional business classes, focus on immediate verbal response (quick-fire drills). Work was 100% autonomous, requiring strong organisational skills and a clear communication style, as well as being able to get on each student's level to understand their personal requirements. I taught at companies ranging from international pharmaceutical giants, to renewable energy management, to insurance and re-insurance firms and scientific research centres.
