English as a foreign language

I am studying English at University of St Andrews as part of my Joint Honours. I have developed a strong foundation in English language and literature. Having studied for many different testing systems such as DSE, A Levels (A*A*A*), IELTS (8/9) and so on, I am very familiar with working with and focusing in on rigorous curriculums and challenging exams, I am confident that I will able to assist students in achieving excellence in their academics and qualifications. As a non-native speaker myself, I also learnt the English language from scratch and took it to a high (university) level of fluency both in spoken and written language. This allows me to understand the best way in easing the process of learning a new language and make it more engaging and smoother for others.

Further, my work and volunteering experience is mostly focused in research and working with children. In my role as a student researcher for the University of St Andrews’ museums, I have conducted extensive research and writing on various topics. I am confident that I can provide insightful and engaging lessons on this platform too. I have experience working with students of all ages and skill levels. In previous volunteering experiences, I have worked with children by teaching them languages, architecture and design, and by providing homework help. I am confident that I can provide a supportive and encouraging learning environment that will inspire students to explore their creativity and develop their skills.
