Summary

I ran my own language school with 350 students and 10 teachers. I was responsible for designing the syllabus and the curriculum for the school as well as providing my teachers with regular training. I also kept track of school attendance, student progress (through regular staff meetings), and issued reports and certificates. Apart from the Academic part I was also responsible for the financial part of the business and development of it. Finally I made sure the advertising and marketing parts of the business were well organized and used to further the expansion of the business.
