Summary
Dear Sir/ Mdm I have been in the education sector for 16 years and have also worked in various industries for an additional 15 years. The management experience in diversified areas and adapting to cultural diversity over the years is what I will educate the learners.

During my full-time employment, I plan courses in consultation with other staff members, arrange course timetables, and serve on the departmental committee that handles general departmental and administrative concerns. I have also assisted in promoting and developing courses with the marketing and sales teams. I am a likeable personality, self-motivated, self-disciplined, and have a high energy level in my passion for teaching. If you require any further information, please do not hesitate to let me know. I look forward to hearing from you. My contact information is +65 96605877 and habibkassim@outlook.com. Thank you. Yours faithfully Habib Kassim Educator
