Taught a wide range of students of all ages, from children with no English experience to retirees with extensive knowledge. There was a focus on business English for adult students also. In order to engage with these clients, I was often required to employ commercial awareness to discuss current business topics and customize lessons to their fields. This also included assisting with the creation and editing of corporate presentations. The job placed significant emphasis on utilising interpersonal skills to form relationships with students and to provide an experience customised to their particular situation and interests.
