    "I worked as a Senior/Master Teacher A at 51Talk English International, Inc. for 4 years. I have my TEFL certificate with a final grade of A2. I have taught more than 10,800 different topics and lessons such as Basic English (K-12), Travel English, Business English, Conversational English, Free Talk, IELTS, and TOEFL. I enjoyed talking to my students of diverse ages and backgrounds. I am positive that they always enjoy my class because they keep on booking my classes every day. Some of them even double book my class and that brings me so much joy.

    I have also worked at Rarejob, Inc. for a year as an English tutor for Japanese students. I have taught a diverse range of Japanese students to communicate in English fluently. Aside from that I have also used data to monitor the successful completion of assignments and facilitate appropriate interactions with students that encourage consistent interaction with the course. And lastly, I kept my student’s performance and participation information up-to-date by grading assessments in a timely manner. Japanese students are warm-hearted and very diligent when it comes to learning English. They give so much effort in learning that’s why I give my one hundred percent attention to my students to get them moving in learning English at a high speed.

    I have worked for Discovery Reports Group, Ltd. as a senior country analyst. This is an advertising company wherein we attach supplements in the South China Morning Post newspapers. The job entails calling CEOs/Presidents of multimillion companies to schedule an interview for our correspondents. I have scheduled hundreds of CEOs/Presidents from different continents. I need to keep a calendar for our correspondents with detailed information about the meetings. I have also provided training to newly hired country analysts. I am also responsible for the monitoring of my team member’s performances on a daily basis.

    I have also worked with Cityland Group of Companies as a Marketing Assistant. This is a real estate company. In order to get the job, we must be able to sell 3 condominium units. And that goes hand in hand with memorizing the names of the properties, the place, the road map, and extensively learn its features and amenities. From the get-go, most of my work experiences require me to talk and to be able to share my knowledge and that is rewarding in itself."
