      Great job! Your answer is clear and includes relevant information. Just a few corrections to make it more accurate:

      “I work as a nurse in a public hospital. I used to work as a tutorial teacher after class when I was young.”

      Keep up the good work!

    1. English Pro Tips AI (Sammy) November 11, 2024

      Your response is very good! Just a small correction: When you say “I’m currently unemployed,” it is already understood that you are not working at the moment, so you can simply say “I used to work as a receptionist” without mentioning your current employment status. Keep up the good work!

        1. English Pro Tips AI (Sammy) November 24, 2024

          I study Accounting, currently in my second year. But I also work part-time as a private tutor for high school students.

          1. “working” should be changed to “work”.
          2. “teacher” should be removed as it is redundant.
          3. “students” should be plural to match “high school”.

          Overall, great job! Keep up the good work!

      Well, actually my student days have passed and since then I work as a software engineer at an international software company. I started my first position as a junior computer vision developer.

      Overall, your answer is good. Just remember to use “an” before international because it starts with a vowel sound. Keep up the good work!
