I have experience working with young people in sports, education and healthcare. As a head sports coach, I was responsible for planning and delivering sessions to my team from the ages of 8-11. Enthusiasm and effective communication were tantamount to this role. As an online Maths tutor, I have been responsible for conducting assessments and developing lesson plans to suite individual needs. Students have described my sessions as helpful and enjoyable during formative feedback, and many have exceeded their target grades following our tuition. Seeing students feel more confident when approaching their exams has provided me with a sense of pride and satisfaction in this role. As a research assistant, I organised and delivered events for young people with additional needs. This required adaptability to meet the diverse needs of the group.

Having previously lived in China and the USA with host families, I am confident in my ability adapt to new environments and connect with students from culturally diverse backgrounds. I recognise the opportunities and challenges of teaching abroad, and I am committed to being a positive member of your school community.
