* Education & Work Experience *
Please find attached my CV, for your kind consideration. Although I have not worked in formal teaching roles, I am now in between careers following a redundancy, and wish to take a different direction. I am therefore seeking a fresh challenge in the training and education sector, and have recently gained practice in teaching and training mentors in English overseas.
My command and delivery of teaching and training is highly regarded and thrives on strong, effective communication to de-mystify subject matters. You will see that I have worked in a variety of industry and business roles, and enjoyed a steady, uninterrupted flow of work. I am busy learning new skills and have recently worked acquired a Masters Course and Scholarship in TEFL; the latter involved over 230 hours of observed teaching practice in Poland in an English language ¡®immersion programme¡¯, where I improved confidence in English speaking skills to business and student clients who needed to communicate effectively for networking and other professional purposes.
I have always been punctual, dedicated to professional behaviour and courtesy and have often gone beyond what is required in good will to creating a rewarding and constructive teaching environment. I want my students to thrive with their learning and enjoy improving their written, verbal and reading skills. I command the confidence and respect of colleagues and students, and believe strongly in working together for their success. I am also passionate about travel, experiencing cultures, open to foreign environments and eager to explore and venture out to new places. I believe my work experience and personal characteristics have equipped me with the ideal credentials as a teacher.
I have a warm, open and friendly approach, an easy-going attitude and like to work from the basic building blocks upwards. I excel in listening, personal support and respond positively to any suggestions. I am used to demanding pressures on workload and time and enjoy a busy and varied work environment, always excelling in good working relations. I am independent when required, having enjoyed a strong degree of autonomy, trust and self-management in tackling problems and offering practical solutions. I have also performed sound strategic and oversight roles, for instance serving on UK national steering and training groups.
Working on my own initiative, I have sought and implemented improved delivery of learning standards. This can be testified through a proven track record of positive outcomes in my field of environmental protection, where I have instructed, mentored and instructed/ trained across all levels. This has successfully eased the administrative burden to government agencies and consultancy in the induction of new staff, for instance in information management and security procedures and regulatory and enforcement standards. It has also delivered business efficiencies and improved service to internal customers and other ¡®stakeholders¡¯.
I have rolled out training guidelines for inspection planning, and also helped design new methodologies designed to secure improved inspection outcomes for field officers -which were used as a blueprint across a range of regulated sectors. These roles thrived on communicating and anticipating key issues as industry gears up to new legislation.
My background has equipped me with demonstrably sound 'customer service' skills, as many of my roles have involved helping and resolving issues for others. I am comfortable in dealing with all mixes of people and enjoy the camaraderie and also challenges that this brings and encourages. I am passionate about commitment to outstanding levels of service, and have also been active in handling sensitive issues with the public.
If you believe I can be a valuable, and fresh presence in your teaching assignments, I would be delighted to discuss. References are available at request.
