Vincent's CV

I am a hard-working, enthusiastic individual who is looking for a new challenge in my working life. I am currently self-employed and working for marketing agency, however my main passion is and has always remained languages. I am very fortunate to have lived in many different countries throughout my life (Martinique, France, Andorra, Bulgaria and England) and this has given me the ability not only to learn languages fluently but also to share them with others. Many of my job roles have been customer service based which has taught me that a happy customer is one that is listened to, respected and overall comes away from the experience with a positive attitude. Much, if not all of this, I believe can be applied to teaching. From my own experience of teaching friends and family members I believe that the key to a productive student is having a mutual respect for each other and creating a positive environment in which you are able to meet their needs as best as possible. My extensive travel has enabled me to meet a variety of wonderful friends from all over the world, many of whom I have been happy to help learn English, French, Spanish and Bulgarian. I believe that languages are the most useful tool you could ever own. Now I want to do what I love professionally and teach languages fulltime.
