    • Vaughan Systems

      Mar 2015 - Sept 2015
      Profesor de inglés

      At Vaughan Systems I underwent an extremely intensive 2 week training course working 17 hours a day. This course taught me exceptional time management skills, an ability to persevere and indeed improve even under both intense pressure and fatigue and finally organisational skills that I applied to the preparation of my classes. By passing the training course I demonstrated key leadership and motivational skills; the method itself is extremely challenging for students as they need to be pushed to their limits but also sufficiently encouraged so as not to give up. Achieving this balance requires the ability to effectively read group dynamics. Show less
