My legal experience renders me capable of interacting with clients from different backgrounds in a professional manner . I also possess great listening skills, attention to detail and the ability to work independently. Conversely, my English tutoring role has enabled me to learn varying methods of teaching in order to meet a student’s needs which has aided in my ability to ‘read’ an individual so as to improve relations. I am affable, an independent thinker and worker who is always willing to learn whilst completing my work.
