Curriculum Vitae

Name Nationality : : Adrian Whitfield Payne British

Profile
I am a British native speaker of English who has a very temperate and friendly personality. I work well as part of a team and also as an individual using my initiative when and where required. I am extremely focused and determined to achieve whatever aims or targets I am set. I have around six years teaching experience, four of which I have been teaching in Saudi Arabia. My experience of teaching Saudi students, has given me the understanding of the various difficulties students may encounter whilst learning the English language. I have taught students from a vast array of cultures and back grounds, children and adults from lower levels to level 5 (IELTS). This experience I have acquired has enabled me to differentiate my teaching strategies and to suit the individual needs of the students.
