Previously, I worked for Knauf Insulation where I train 5 people who were going to be posted to Sweden for work purposes. My most recent teaching appointment was at Astra Zeneca, where I provided one-to-one language training to a finance specialist who is going to spend a year in Sweden in connection with their work. Previously, I have been a contracted Swedish language trainer for Transglobal Languages where I have taught corporate clients on one-to- one basis. Also, I worked as a language specific tutor for an MA course at the University of Manchester in 2008/2009. My two teaching appointments prior to that included tutorials for first year undergraduate modules in English language (English grammar, word- and sentence structure; sound system and spoken English). My teaching load was six hours a week during the first and seven hours a week during the second term. The group sizes were approximately twelve students. In addition to teaching, my tasks included arranging personal meetings with students to review their progress, and marking three pieces of assessed coursework by each student during a course. My teaching experience in the U.K. has centred on tutorials and lectures at undergraduate level and the teaching load has ranged from two to six hours a week. The group sizes have varied between 8 and 22 students. I have also been co-teaching a specialist course at the final year undergraduate and postgraduate level (Finno-Ugric linguistics). In addition to the above, I have substantial experience in teaching modern foreign languages (English and Swedish) in both academic and non-academic environments, and my teaching style has ranged from one-to-one tuition to large group teaching. Further, during two years I have gained experience in teaching Estonian to foreigners in Estonia. Beside my teaching commitments, I have acted as a setter for Swedish and Estonian language exams for FCO and CIL. 2. QUALIFICATIONS Sept 2012 DPSI (English Law) Jan. 2005 Qualified Teacher Status.
