Work experience
Private tutor and team leader, English:

GTuition Center (2020-present)

Tutoring adults and schoolchildren preparing forA-level languages alongside managing a small team has helped me to develop good leadership and management skills. Experience of successfully motivating staff and students to get better results has broadened my knowledge of teaching techniques and strategies to get better results. I was responsible for devising a comprehensive learning programme specifically tailored to the individual requirements of each student, this includes planning lessons, keeping records, assessing and analysing work. The role also entails drawing on strong communication skills to provide tutees with practical and pastoral support throughout their educational or professional careers.

Volunteer (2020-present)

Weekly responsibility with a Brownies unit in Gloucestershire. This involves planning and leading activities for the group's members as well as managing the group's accounts, which requires consistent data handling and organisational abilities.

English language assistant (2019)

In the third year of my degree I worked at two schools in SouthAfrica, France. This involved teaching English vocabulary and grammar in a range of settings including one to one sessions, small groups and classes of up to thirty pupils. Teaching a range of abilities and ages developed an awareness of how to act as a motivating and proactive role model, engaging and supporting students. This included devising and teaching lessons using a range of interactive resources such as games and digital software which students found engaging.

Volunteer leader, Rainbows age 5-7 and Brownies age 7-10 ( )

Assisting, planning and leading a range of activities which often involved being creative, positive and thinking on the spot.


I would describe my teaching style as coaching. Instead of offering answers to my students, I try to ask the right questions, and with the help of demonstration and group activities they should find the answers.
