Summary
I am an experienced teacher who specialised in English, Spanish & Drama. I have spent the last 13 years in real estate which I have enjoyed immensely and been very successful in. However, I am applying to participate in the teacher refresher course as I would like to transition back into teaching as I no longer wish to work 7 days a week for the foreseeable future.
Working in real estate and the experience being self employed has taught me many new skills that I am proud to have earned. These are important life skills that can be used to strengthen my teaching abilities in the future.
