Summary
Hi, I am a Swiss national, working toward my NZ residency. I have a passion for languages, I studied quite a few of them as well as TESOL. I am currently working as a French and English teacher. I have chosen this career path as I believe in the importance of providing to others the same education I have received and I loved helping my foreign students feel more at home in their new country. I would like to join your team to further hone my skills.
