Mohammed Aljaf
Sheffield
Summary
A dedicated, adaptable, and enthusiastic educator with a strong background in Sports Coaching, Physical Education, and youth mentoring. I recently completed my PGCE with QTS specialising in Physical Education at Sheffield Hallam University, following a BSc (Hons) in Sports Coaching. My experience spans across primary and secondary school settings, where I have successfully delivered personalised intervention programmes, supported learners facing barriers to education, and promoted inclusion through positive engagement.
With a proven ability to build meaningful relationships with young people, I am passionate about helping learners reach their full potential both academically and personally. My background as a student-athlete in the USA on a football scholarship has also developed my leadership, resilience, and teamwork skills, which I bring into every learning environment. I am now seeking to apply my skills and experience as an Academic Intervention Mentor within the Sheffield Wednesday FC Community Programme.
