Personal Profile

I am a qualified primary school teacher, who would deem myself as a very enthusiastic educator with a great professionalism and work ethic. As an individual I am passionate about teaching, education, helping others and working with children. I am also very amiable, flexible and self-motivated. It has always been a goal and dream of mine to teach in Japan, as I am a very avid enthusiast of Japanese culture and have longingly wished to live in Japan after travelling there 5 years ago. I also hold a level 5 TEFL certificate.
