My Experience
I fell in love with teaching working for Bridge the Gap as a High School student in San Francisco. As part of my role, I tutored students from underprivileged backgrounds between the ages of eight and thirteen in maths, history and English.
During my first undergraduate degree, I continued to tutor in a private capacity and became a paid teacherās assistant. For this position, I completed a 3-month course in pedagogy and spent a year tutoring first year undergraduate students in English Literature, Philosophy, History, and Politics. I helped students with their writing and comprehension by developing techniques to improve textual analysis and idea development.
In addition to tutoring my fellow undergraduate students at Bard College, I tutored at a maximum security prison in New York to enable prisoners the ability to pursue an undergraduate degree behind bars. I tutored my students in English, English Literature, History and Politics. I also tutored my students in their dissertations.
During my second undergraduate degree at the University of Cambridge, I conducted practice interviews with students from underprivileged backgrounds interested in applying to Oxford and Cambridge. I worked under the supervision of my Dean of Students in Law and provided feedback to the students to improve their interview skills.

Fun fact
When I am not tutoring or working at a law firm, I clamber on London climbing walls, peddle a heavy Dutch bicycle around, and nibble on many a halloumi burger.
