Richard: Ireland: Oct 14, 2019

I do not have any direct experience with regards to education but have been heavily involved in working with children throughout my life. Potentially my best experience was as a first-year class mentor in secondary school. I thoroughly enjoyed meeting up weekly with the first-year students to talk about problems they were having in the year. It was our goal to ensure the switch from primary to secondary school was as seamless and as unintimidating as possible. We eventually became good friends with the younger students which they said allowed them to adjust easier to their new student life.

Apart from this I have babysat younger kids on many occasions as well as assisted my mam in her job as a physiotherapist by dealing with kids with physical and intellectual disabilities.

I am a naturally welcoming person and strive to be inclusive of everyone. I like to think that I present myself in a respectful and confident manner.

I have worked hard throughout my life to ensure that I achieve my fullest potential. My work ethic and determination has been commended during my various employments. This included work as a labourer in New York and Vancouver, a waiter working for a catering service and finally during two internships with Pfizer.

During these various jobs my communication and interpersonal skills improved greatly.
I have the utmost confidence that I will apply myself to a teaching job in a similar manner. I can ensure you that you will be satisfied with my employment.
