Graduate English tutor seeking to transition into a role teaching English as a second language

I am a hard-working and knowledgeable recently graduated student of English and American Literature. My extensive travel across Europe has enabled me to relate to people of different cultures, who speak little to no English and still communicate effectively. Coming from a bilingual family (English / Polish), I am sensitive to the imposed challenges and complexities surrounding learning a second language.
I believe that this experience has not only made me more empathetic but has also aided me in my commitment to helping my students reach their long-term language learning goals.
