I am a driven, enthusiastic, caring and fun individual and helping other people has always been highly important to me. I volunteered for various schemes in school where I would help students. One that stands out to me is helping younger children improve their reading and English ability. Each week I would spend time reading books or articles with a student and then complete tasks based on the reading, which I had designed. This provided me with knowledge on how to tailor tasks and learning to different students, based on their needs.

I completed a 168 hour Level 5 Online TEFL course which I thoroughly enjoyed. This course covered a wide range of topics from teaching children of different ages, abilities and class sizes to teaching over the phone. This course gave me a huge insight into what makes a successful teaching environment for children and what discourages children from learning.

Sports and being active have always been passions of mine. My hobbies include running, swimming, tennis and rounders. I love playing sports with others as it allows us to bond as a team and learn how to cooperate better with one another. I volunteered to help coach younger children play rounders. I absolutely loved sharing my passion with other students and seeing them improve and learn to love a sport some of them did not enjoy, was incredible to see.

I believe a great teacher who has faith in a child's abilities and will push them to achieve the best they possibly can be; can help change a child's life forever. I would love an exciting opportunity to join a school team abroad, which provides me with the ability to help children thrive both educationally and as citizens.
