OSKAR BLACKBURN

Hi, I'm Oskar

I'm a junior web developer seeking a position that utilises my current knowledge whilst challenging me to broaden my skillset.

I first entered the web development world at 17 when I completed an internship in the Netherlands. I went on to work as a freelancer and had another internship in Canada. Since then I have worked and studied in other fields, most recently as an English teacher, but my goal has always been to find a way back into web development. My longer term plan is to eventually master both front and back-end development.

Hi, I'm Oskar

After a few years working and studing outside of the field, I would love to be given the opportunity to return to web development.

As sometimes happens, life got a bit complicated a few years ago and I stopped working as a web developer. Since then I have studied and worked in different areas. Most recently, I have been teaching English online. You can read reviews from my students below. I included them here because I think they show that although I lack recent experience in web development, I have learnt many invaluable skills in the last few years that would make me a strong addition to any team. Give me a chance and I won't let you down!

kind, respectful and encouraging

Oskar is a great teacher. After our trial lesson I decided to book 10 lessons with him to prepare for a job interview. He has been kind, respectful and encouraging and I’m looking forward to every lesson.

responsible and organized

Oskar is a very responsible and organized teacher with a warm and friendly personality. I really enjoy talking with him, and he will provide you with practical help in professional practice, which requires his efforts and research after class to put himself in your position. So you will enjoy the whole class, and with his encouragement you will have the confidence and motivation to learn and improve your language skills. So I think he is a good teacher who can be trusted and be a friend
