Nick: United Kingdom: University of Bristol: Feb 01, 2001

My biggest strengths in relation to this role stem from previous experience I have had tutoring children in the UK, and the skills I have developed throughout my academic endeavours.

Tutoring experience –

In university I tutored students on GCSE English and History. This was a useful introduction into teaching. I now understand the importance of effective lesson planning, connecting with students on a personal level, and teaching students to think on their feet.

University experience –

I have developed a range of skills during my university degree which are relevant to a role teaching English. Two very relevant ones are;

Communication – I am a clear and effective communicator. My university degree has shaped my ability to select relevant information and present it clearly, wether in the written or verbal form. my experience tutoring has further developed this.

Work ethic – I am a very driven individual with excellent self-motivating abilities.
