Dedicated German tutor and customer support professional with diverse experience.
What I'm looking for
I am a dedicated professional currently pursuing a BA degree at Birkbeck University while balancing a full-time career. My journey has equipped me with exceptional time management skills and a strong work ethic. I have a passion for teaching and translating, particularly in the German language, where I strive to help learners develop their skills while incorporating cultural insights.
Throughout my career, I have excelled in customer support and relationship management roles, notably as a Customer and Merchant Support Executive at Heidi Pay, where I managed a portfolio of over 300 merchants. My commitment to improving customer experiences led to a 12% increase in conversion rates in 2023. I have also successfully trained new staff members, ensuring they align with company standards and policies, fostering a culture of excellence and collaboration.
My diverse experience spans various industries, including e-commerce and finance, where I have developed innovative solutions to enhance operational efficiency. I am eager to leverage my skills and experiences in a dynamic environment that values growth, collaboration, and customer satisfaction.
