Cashier/Tickets sales person/hostess

The job at Melrose and Melville Comedy club has been part-time but I would like to get away from that and focus on my studies and tutoring. Being the cashier and ticket sales person I would collect tickets from customers and sell customers tickets that have not bought online. Being a hostess I would show the customers to their seats and help in any other way I could.

  • Math

    Mathematics was always one of my favourite subjects in high-school, mainly because of the fantastic teacher I had. He was always patient with me and helped me out in any way possible.

  • Vocabulary

    Vocabulary is very important in the English language (as well as other languages). In order to have conversations with others one must know the correct grammar, vocabulary and spelling as well as how and when to use certain words in a conversation. I am very understanding and patient towards students with this regard.

    Writing anything in todays world is highly important as almost every career choice requires a generally good knowledge of essays, letters and research. I have taken part in 2 research projects and have written countless essays throughout my high-school and university career. I have also had a poem I wrote in primary/high school published in a Poetry book.

  • Reading

    Many people struggle with reading, especially reading out loud. I was one of these people. I had a lisp that prevented me from reading out loud and performing speeches. But I have since learned to overcome the fear of embarrassment and fear of failure and have succeeded tremendously in my reading abilities.

    Primary school being the foundation phase of ones school career is very important as it will determine the level of their high-school career.
