My name is Eleanor Ham. I have just graduated with a 1st Class degree in Mathematics from the University of Exeter. I have a passion for helping young people and I would love to work educating and teaching them. My interest in helping young people developed when I worked for the National Citizen Service, NCS, where I led a team of 12, aged between 15 and 17. During the programme, I ran education activities for my team, teaching life skills; confidence; and empowering them to bring about social change. I had to be creative in presenting ideas to keep the young people engaged and interested. In order to help them most effectively I had to adapt each step of the programme to suit each individual’s needs whether that be as a result of ADHD, dyslexia or a mental health condition.

NCS is a programme for all young people irrespective of background. It allows them to meet others from all walks of life and gives everyone equal opportunities. The programme helps any young people, not just those who are academically gifted, by allowing them to explore an area of interest that suits them. Any programme like NCS that gives confidence and support to young people is one that is incredibly important to shape our future society. Young people are the basis of the future and by creating more rounded and open individuals we can create a better fairer society.

Safeguarding and confidentiality was an important part of my NCS role as some of the young people suffered severe mental health conditions, which needed to be handled with care. Prior to NCS, I worked as a lifeguard for which safeguarding is also extremely important. For both roles, I completed formal safeguarding training.

One experience of safeguarding came during NCS where one young person required significant extra care, due to her mental health conditions, and could not be left alone for extended periods of time. She suffered from multiple panic attacks a day and together we developed a system for calming and controlling them. Making a difference both to her life and to that of the rest of my team gave me a huge sense of achievement and is why I have applied for this role.

I thrive on being busy. Throughout sixth form and my first two years of university, I balanced a part-time job and sports societies alongside my studies. For example, during sixth form, I trained as a lifeguard and then worked regularly while studying for 4 A-Levels and maintaining sporting commitments at both swimming and water-polo clubs. At university, I continued working as a lifeguard, studying and have been on the committee for the university Windriders (water sports) society where I designed, ordered and sold club clothing as well as organising (and then unfortunately cancelling) a holiday for 30 people this summer.

I feel that my work experience, coupled with my degree in mathematics, makes me a very strong candidate for this role. I have had experience handling data throughout my degree and have a passion for numbers – I am logical, analytical and numerical. As I have finished the final year of my degree I have been giving a lot of thought to my future career path. I am very keen to work with young people and a role, such as this, that combines my degree and engaging with young people would be a fantastic opportunity for me at this stage.

I am an enthusiastic and hard-working individual with a Bachelor's degree in History from the University of Sheffield. I initially undertook the course with the intention of teaching in the future, and my studies have reinforced that desire. I quickly became passionate and excited about the knowledge I acquired, and keen to impart it, which I did at university in regular presentations. This recently led me to attain a 120-hour in-class TEFL certificate.

One of my passions is the English language, of which I shall remain an undying student. It is so brilliant and vast; so packed full of history but also constantly evolving, that teaching it to beginners and native speakers alike would be a truly rewarding career.

I have a decade of experience working with and guiding children of all ages, since I became a qualified football referee in 2012, and a certified athletics coach shortly afterwards. The former position has occupied a great deal of my time, and I discovered I had a talent for being authoritative and even-handed. I developed an ability to instinctively judge when to be convivial and supportive, and when to be serious and uncompromising.

During the Covid pandemic I worked full-time in a supermarket. The job was unstimulating but my time there did demonstrate my ability to work hard. I cycled seven miles to and from work, often beginning work at 3am. But, more importantly, I used every spare moment outside of this job to study, read and volunteer.

I have been learning Italian throughout the last year and have made considerable progress. This hobby is invaluable in understanding how best to teach English, because I can appreciate the difficulties and the joy of learning a language. For instance, I appreciate the value of repetition and of returning to topics covered in previous lessons.

In 2019 I organised a 1800 kilometre cycle from Budapest to London, which a small group and I completed in three weeks. The trip demonstrated my organisational skills as well as my determination to see tasks through to the end. I believe the attributes I have developed over the past few years make me a strong candidate to teach at your school. I would be honoured to become part of your teaching team. Thank you for taking the time to consider my application.

I believe in a gentle and patient approach to teaching and strive to meet every student at their place of need I have a real desire to improve the lives of others by teaching English. I look forward to creating exciting and engaging lessons to motivate my students and help them to learn effectively. With the skills I’ve acquired from my TEFL certificate as well as my previous childcare experience I’ve gained from volunteering at a preschool I aim to use that knowledge to create an environment where English learning can be done in a fun, caring and productive way.
