Niamh: United Kingdom: Sep 01, 2021

I am a BSc Psychology graduate from the University of Hull. As a student and having worked in the public hospitality sector I am experienced in working in a demanding environment, capable of organising and prioritising my own workload.

During my studies, I have completed three qualifications including mental health first aider training for both adults and children as well as a Level 2 Mental Wellbeing course for young children. I have gained the ability to apply both interpersonal and professional attributes when working with students of all ages and backgrounds. I am approachable and confident with the ability to work as a team, listening to and giving instructions whilst producing work of a high standard.

My ongoing passion is for dance, which I have consistently taken part in since the age of 4. In this past year, I decided I wanted to push myself further and after auditioning I was given the opportunity to teach my own ballet class to a select group of students within the University.

In the past I’ve worked with children of a wide range of ages all the way through from 3 up to around 14 years old. I have completed a placement at a primary school working with multiple age groups as well as shadowing a learning mentor whilst working with children with special educational needs. As well as this, for 2 years I voluntarily supported and taught dancers at my previous dance school and offered one to one sessions with children struggling with the technique in their dance classes.
