My Experience
I have experience working as a personal A-Level and GCSE tutor while I was in high school – including tutoring a hearing impaired child in IGCSE English, maths and physics.
As a UCL Student Ambassador, I work with students to develop their reading, writing and presentation skills, as well as their confidence and motivation to consider Higher Education – for instance the Inspire Newham program over three months; through which I worked with students on short-scale research projects to help improve their transferable skills.
In September 2014, I worked on Personal Statement Clinics where I provided advice and feedback on prospective UCL applicants’ personal statements across a range of subjects, from Medicine to English.
I have worked as an English teacher at a Government-run school for children of the ages 7-10. I developed my own ESL teaching program, based on phonetics, to improve the level of children whose language skills suffer because of poor teaching practices. As I worked with limited resources, I creatively developed my own worksheets, tools and lesson plans to make the learning experience as easy and sustainable as possible.
As a Transition Mentor at UCL, I held Peer-Assisted Learning sessions; provided CV writing advice, guides to referencing for university essays, tips on using the e-library services. Being successful in this role, I was appointed Senior Mentor for this year, to overlook the Transition Mentor team, provide advice on planning sessions, and create resources for other mentors to use.
