Spanish term or phrase: "Soy una persona cercana"
How do you say "Soy una persona cercana" meaning that I am friendly, warm with other people? The opposite of "distant".

Is "I am a warm person" ok?

If so, I'm a language teacher and would like to use it in my ad on classified websites: "I am a warm, flexible teacher (...)" Would that work in a professional -though quite casual- context, or would it be too personal?
