Profile

My career has led me to specialize increasingly in the management of complex multi-cultural projects and their staff at multi- national levels.  I have experience in strategic forward planning; operating within tight disciplines and the application of modern leadership methods (through staff motivation through involvement in both decision-making and target-setting, clarity in communication, and fluid personal inter-relations).  My own cosmopolitan background and analytical interests in other cultures, together with a command of several languages, have also left me confident in handling negotiations that require the reconciliation of different national approaches to otherwise common problems.

Contribution:

English for the specific purposes ie Need-based:

I believe language is very important for communication, as a person has to be competent in a language while communicating for any purpose, be it professional or personal. It is one of the keys to success. My focus here is to learn the language skill, which is required so I focus on need-based skills. I can contribute to the forum in many ways as required. I can help in editing any text if needed, secondly, I can do proof reading, Thirdly I can be in the administrative team if required..and many more as per the needs of the forum.

Expectations:

To exchange professional experience on teaching English in the rural areas with the scarcity of resources.
