I am currently in 4th year University, not yet graduated, took some time off this year to induldge myself into new experiences and new cultures, and to teach which is a passion of mine.

Nationality:Canadian   Age:22

I have been interested in China for quite some time now, and am willing to deepen my knowledge and appreciation of that interest.

 

OBJECTIVE

To gain meaningful experience, to grow, to learn and use my knowledge to assist others. It is my goal to combine my range or experience with my ability to be a compassionate, enthusiastic, intelligent teacher.  One who will make a positive contribution to your school district.  A self-driven leader with excellent communication and interpersonal skills who effectively collaborates with all levels of staff members and fosters quality relationships with students. 

Motivated as a young child through my swimming experiences, I became a swimming Instructor.  I acquired the patience, the skills and the extensive training to become a leader.  This opened the door to my passion for teaching children.

Stimulating my curiosity for travel made me aware of many interesting cultures.  It would be a great asset to use this combination of knowledge to mould into my teaching of ESL.
