Having worked as a Literary Support Assistant at NUSA and as a Senior Mentor for NCS, I have seen first-hand the positive influence a dedicated tutor can have on students’ learning and motivation. I believe I can bring skills I have honed during these positions to my role as a tutor for Tutor Finder, encouraging my tutees to work to the best of their ability by providing positive feedback and suitable tasks for their respective ages and abilities.

While working at NUSA, I helped a student with learning disabilities to complete both English and Maths tasks, and had the pleasure to see his skills in these subjects improve over the course of my short work experience placement there, teaching me the value of committing myself to the education of my tutees. To me, there is nothing more rewarding than seeing somebody complete a task they had previously struggled with.


On top of first-hand teaching experience, I undertook a module entitled ‘Introduction to Teaching English as a Foreign Language’ during the course of my First-Class English Degree; I am adept at adapting my lessons to pupils for whom English is not a first language, and can help with their writing, speaking and reading skills.
