Teacher

• Sep 2011 - Aug 2012

• Teaching in China, where last minute changes are often thrust upon you, requires great flexibility. Throughout my time teaching I was confronted by many unexpected changes to classes and teaching schedules at short notice. • Having received no training as a teacher I was required to learn on the job. The positive feedback I have received from my employer is evidence of how well I adapted to working in a totally different work environment and culture. • To be a successful teacher in China it is important to build a solid working relationship with your Chinese co-teachers. The positive feedback I received from my employer demonstrated that I was able to achieve this.
