My job was to be knowledgeable about the National Theatre and everything it had to offer.

This role took place from May to September, in both 2010 and 2011.As well as instructing students in English it also allows them to experience English cultureand its places. This was a demanding role which required me to demonstrate a breadth ofadministrative abilities and in addition called upon a myriad of other qualities to manageforeign students aged between 12 and 18. This required initiative, patience, creativity andconfidence, in order to coordinate entire evenings of over a hundred students, to thoroughlyplan the details of what had to be engaging activities and day long excursions to large citiesin the UK and handle challenges and situations that could not always be foreseen. During allof this an enthusiasm and willingness to go beyond what was expected of me was essentialand I believe that I became a vital member of the team, both as a contributor and a leader.
