More details about my language interests
Foreign languages have always been an integral part of my life, growing up in a bilingual family; my father is from Israel and my mother is British. I have developed an in depth appreciation of the importance and beauty that diversity brings, and a love for modern languages. I intend to forge a career that uses my language skills to help teach others, and to make a difference.

More details about your skills

Part of my university course is Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages. I have a strong passion to teach others my native language, and have had experience teaching private and group lessons to students learning English with a range of abilities. I think this is what drives me to want to learn new languages myself. I am currently studying Spanish and Italian at university and would love the opportunity to live in Spain to further my progress.

Through my teaching work and my work in the community, I have become a strong communicator with good organizational skills, demonstrating an ability to work under pressure and solve problems. My voluntary work has given me opportunities to demonstrate my leadership and teamwork skills, showing perseverance and resilience. In my spare time, I thoroughly enjoy music, such as playing the piano, which I am a grade 3, and singing.

What else ...

Aside from working and swimming, I love spending time with my friends and family. In particular, my 9 year old sister. I love taking her on adventures, both outdoors doing tree trekking, horse riding and cycling, as well as indoors playing card games, watching our favourite TV programmes and doing karaoke.
I love meeting new people and learning new skills, and I am always up for an adventure.
