About Kate Gleeson:

Highly motivated and enthusiastic student with a vast amount of experience working with new people and a great interest in working with young people in particular, from assisting in their development of new skills to coordinating lessons.
With organisation as one of my greatest skills, I work efficiently and proactively in the workplace, striving to exceed company standards and provide a thoroughly enjoyable customer experience. Strong leadership skills exercised through my various volunteering roles which have allowed me to demonstrate my initiative and reliability. 
I am looking to gain further experience in language teaching by carrying out a placement teaching English in a school in Seville, Spain.
