Spanish term

"Soy una persona cercana"

Spanish to English Art/Literary Other
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?
