My Experience
I am a second-year undergraduate student at the LSE studying BSc Government and Economics.
Throughout my academic history, I have never sought the easy way out when pursuing a grade or goal. For my GCSEs I was predicted a string of Bs and Cs. I worked hard to overcome this and ended up receiving the third best results in my school, and the highest for a male student. For my AS levels, I received AABC and turned this into A*A*A by my A-Levels.
Since 2016 I have had two major teaching and tutoring jobs. Between 2016 and 2017 I worked as a Year Four Teaching Assistant in an Oxfordshire Primary School, helping children primarily with their Maths and English. This was undertaken as part of general class support for my line manager, as well as in small intervention groups tailored towards SEN children.
Also, since January 2019 I have worked as a private nanny and tutor. This role has involved tutoring the child in core Key Stage 1 areas including Maths, English and Verbal Reasoning: working methodically through study guides (including the 11+ study guides) and pre-planned questions to ensure the child utilizes a wide range of skillsets and foundational knowledge.
