What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can use my C1 English teaching strengths in both group and 1-on-1 settings, while also supporting online sales/communication and creative or design tasks in a friendly, international team.

I’m an English Teacher with C1-level listening, reading, spoken production, and spoken interaction. I taught children in classes and delivered 1-on-1 English lessons to adults, while bringing an “American Culture” perspective to learning.

Beyond teaching, I’ve worked as a Leather goods quality control laboratory technician, responsible for tests on paints and leathers. I also gained practical business experience in online sales management, managing online sales and posts using tools like Microsoft Excel and Google Drive/Docs.

I’m currently studying Graphic and Design at Kirklareli University (Vocational School), and I’m used to working in structured, team-oriented settings. In leadership roles, I coordinated my university’s English Club for two consecutive years and served as Lead Student for an Erasmus+ chemistry presentation, where I created and presented an experiment video.
