Experience / Qualifications
🇦🇷 March 2023 — September 2023: English Language Assistant at IES Simón Bolivar, Córdoba, Argentina (British Council: Ministerio de Educación Argentina).

1 of 8 successful candidates chosen by the British Council to gain further crucial experience in teaching English Language to foreign speakers in Argentina in this incredibly prestigious opportunity.

Confident user of Zoom and able to develop instructional techniques under the guidance of bilingual professional teachers. Formed and held weekly debate classes in English and Spanish with students so as to improve students’ conversational skills in English whilst simultaneously developing my own and develop teaching techniques and Spanish language.

Furthermore, have been able to significantly improve fluency in Spanish and develop my use of Argentine vocabulary and accent. Cultural immersion through the likes of Speakeasy and Mundo Lingo linguistic exchange events has allowed me to attain a high linguistic level in both spoken and written form.

🇫🇷 September 2022 — February 2023: English Language ‘Locuteur’ (Teacher) at Institution Saint Jeanne d’Arc (ISJA Brignoles), Brignoles, France (Language Connexion).

Gained crucial experience in teaching English Language to foreign speakers as well as developing key skills necessary to overcome challenges presented by adolescent students.

Also significantly improved fluency in French, especially given the collective lack of English speakers within both the country itself and, naturally, the classroom. As such, cultural immersion has allowed me to attain a high linguistic level in both spoken and written form.

Tutor of Dutch at Varady Language school in Geneva

2021-2022:
I worked at "bijlesthuis," a Dutch tutoring institution, where I primarily taught French, Dutch, and English to adult learners seeking to improve their language skills. During the same period, I also provided classes to other students through Apprentus.

2021:
Through Apprentus and other websites, I assisted several younger students (ages 5-15) in Bern and Geneva, helping them improve their skills in subjects such as Maths and French.

2017-2020:
I worked for three years at a tutoring institution in Geneva called ARA, where I primarily taught French, Mathematics, and English.

During this time, I also spent two years working at a private school called Florimont, where I supported students aged 11-16 across various subjects by assisting them with their homework.

I can teach French, Dutch, and English, Spanish and in German, and I thoroughly enjoy teaching and assisting students in their progress and acquisition of new skills.
