PERSONAL STATEMENT


FOLLOWING MY EARLY RETIREMENT FROM THE CIVIL SERVICE AFTER THIRTY FIVE YEARS, I DECIDED TO TAKE THE OPPORTUNITY TO RE -EVALUATE MY ASPIRATIONS, AND TO STRIVE TO EMBARK UPON A LEARNING CURVE WHICH WOULD LEAD TO A NEW CAREER OPPORTUNITY WITHIN THE WIDER EDUCATION FIELD.
MY NICHE SOON BECAME CLEAR WHEN I VOLUNTEERED TO TUTOR FILIPINO MEDICAL STUDENTS ON A VOLUNTARY AD HOC BASIS, HELPING THEM WITH THEIR ENGLISH SPEAKING AND WRITING SKILLS. THIS WAS REWARDING TO BOTH MYSELF AS I REALISED THAT TUTORING WAS MY FORTE, AND TO THE STUDENTS WHO FOUND IT EASIER TO INTEGRATE INTO THE HOSPITAL SETTING AND OVERCOME THE LANGUAGE BARRIERS. IN RETURN, THEY DID NOT HESITATE IN REFERRING THEIR COLLEAGUES TO ME FOR TUITION.
I EXPLORED THE PATHWAYS TO PROGRESS INTO THE TEACHING SPHERE, AND AM NOW A FULLY QUALIFIED TEFL/TESL TUTOR (MASTERS GRADE A) CERTIFIED, AND HAVE ATTAINED MY LIFE COACHING DIPLOMA WITH CPD ACCREDITATION.
MY AIM NOW IS TO USE MY ACQUIRED SKILLS TO TUTOR STUDENTS WHO WISH TO LEARN THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE, EMPOWERING THEM TO BECOME PROFICIENT IN THEIR WRITTEN AND SPOKEN WORK.
