Communication - I am great at presenting ideas and concepts towards those who I will be teaching and I am able to explain those points in alternate ways to allow them to understand. I can do this via verbal guidance, examples …etc

Planning - I am also good at planning sessions to explore concepts in a organised and chronological order that optimises the amount of knowledge gained from each lesson.
