My Experience
The first time I took responsibility in helping others with their studies was during my two Years of Sixth Form. With German as my first language I helped Students in the lower years struggling with simple sentence structure and vocabulary on an individual basis. This taught me the value of being able to focus and adapt my teaching to the individual needs of a student. From this experience I took on further challenges, such as organising weekly revision classes for IB students at my school studying German as their second language. This task included developing a teaching plan as well as producing handout material. 
After I finished my International Baccalaureate I studied and completed my qualification as a “Rettungssanitäter” (equivalent to an Emergency Medical Technician) and began to work voluntarily with the German Red Cross in Kiel, Germany. Having learned a lot during this time, one of the major parts in the job was to educate trainees and others shadowing your work. A skill that I found particularly helpful to illustrate topics such as Physiology and Pharmacology was to link their importance to real-life situations I had encountered. To work through such a situation in regards to the topic was helpful to manifest trainees´ understanding and knowledge. Furthermore, the variety of patients I have encountered in this setting has been invaluable to developing my interpersonal skills, aiding both in practice and teaching. 
During my first years at Medical School I developed a profound interest in Human Anatomy, which I am now passing on to current 1st and 2nd Year students as a Near Peer Tutor. In this setting I help students with their practical dissections of a human body as well as supporting their theoretical knowledge, study skills and coping mechanisms in general.
