  • Description

    I am a 27 year old from the UK who has just left his job in a management role and will be travelling from Europe to Asia in the first half of 2025. I have bachelors degrees in Economics from the University of Birmingham and Engineering Management from the University of Lincoln. I have teaching experience from month-long stints working in schools in Palestine (2017) and Ukraine (2018) as well as delivering engaging and structured training in my job for the past two years. I have studied Russian on and off since 2017 as well as a three month Nepali language course in 2023. I have a very strong interest in traveling the world and learning more about other cultures and countries, I aspire to visit every country in the world (currently on 52). I am also a big sports fan and like to keep active by running and going to the gym.

  • More details about your skills

    I am a fast learner and will jump into any task given to me. My job has required me to maintain a high physical standard and disciplined nature, so I can be trusted to work hard and deliver on any task. I have leadership and management experience of 28 subordinates and coordinating multiple complex task streams. I worked with non-native English speakers and have experience in mentoring them to improve their written communication skills by checking their output and correcting errors. My work has required me to deliver presentations and lessons as well as planning and executing well structured and engaging training.

    I studied Russian in evening classes for two years (2017-2019) and have tried to keep up with it since in my own time. I have also studied Nepali for three months in country in 2023 - though it is a very hard language to master!
