Iago Janssens

Brussels

Summary

I am a responsible, organized, and communicative person. Although I am still a student, I have already developed many valuable skills through personal experiences. I give private Dutch lessons, write for my school newspaper, and play sports like football and go to the gym, activities that have taught me discipline, perseverance, and teamwork. Taking care of my younger siblings has also helped me develop patience, time management, and empathy. I enjoy learning, working with others, and always give my best in everything I do.

Work History

Volunteer

This summer I am going to do volunteer work in Accra, Ghana. It is organized by Projects Abroad, a volunteer company. The project is to help disadvantaged local communities, assisting in schools, playing with children, and doing sports with them.

After-School Tutor

For the past two years, I have been occasionally teaching extra Dutch classes during my free time. To kids who are struggling with the language so they can achieve better grades, since it is my mother tongue and not everyone in Brussels speaks it.

Journalist

I really enjoy writing and I have quite a bit of experience. I have written several articles on the website of my school newspaper called Eurscmag.eu. Covering various topics and they are in several languages, mainly French and Spanish. I also wrote for a media outlet called Revoluters.es, where I wrote articles related to sports.
