Hannah: United Kingdom: Sep 01, 2021

As part of my bachelors degree, I studied a module called 'Communicating and teaching Mathematics', which involved researching and evaluating how effective various teaching methodologies are in different scenarios. From this, I am able to determine which teaching style is most suitable in specific contexts and develop a good understanding of child development. In addition, we were also required to design two learning resources for secondary school students. My creativity enabled me to produce original and engaging content that aided the students in transitioning to their next level of education.

Having worked as a private Maths tutor for Primary and Secondary school students and as a Mentor for first year university students, I have experience in working with a variety of age groups. I was able to successfully adapt my style and produce the appropriate learning material for the differing audiences. I created a positive energy within my lessons to inspire confidence in the students and to motivate them to achieve their full potential. Also, my personable approach allowed me to quickly build trusting relationships.

As a hobby, I have a huge interest in travelling and embracing different cultures. Given there are over 160 nationalities at my university, I am experienced in working in a multicultural setting and I am sensitive to different cultural values and customs. I would also hope to share insight on British culture with others.
