Calm, creative, compassionate, individualised, student-led, thought-provoking.

I have worked as a teacher in an independent school in London for three years. My lessons are creative and individualised to student's learning needs. For the last three years I have been teaching 1-1 lessons in GCSE English language. I enjoyed this job immensely however, for family reasons, I had to leave London for the foreseeable future, hence why I am now looking for remote work to continue this role. Managers and co-workers have described me as a gentle, patient and kind teacher who is tolerant of differences and can work calmly in moments of stress. Before working as a teacher, I had spent two years working with young refugees (at the Refugee Council) and leading a charity group that made frequent visits to Calais' refugee camp. I believe that these experiences, along with my academic background in Social Anthropology, have strengthened my skills in empathy and tolerance, as my co-workers had described.
