Summary
I have worked as a Head of Courses for British Council Wrocław Teaching Centre for the last ten years, supporting teachers with course and lesson planning, mentoring less experienced teachers, communicating with students and parents, managing the partner relationship with the local schools and managing the centre on daily basis. I am optimistic and bold, open and committed, expert and inclusive, which is in agreement with British Council Values and Behaviours. I am always willing to embrace new ideas and find creative solutions to challenges. These personal features combined with my long experience make me the right candidate for the role of Academic Co-ordinator.
