Summary
A recent graduate of Chemical Engineering from UCL and with my feedback from my experience, I am a friendly, efficient and enthusiastic person that can be implemented and shown through work. I currently privately tutor students through a variety of Maths, Science and Islamic studies. I am also very versatile as I can quickly adjust to different and multiple situations as my peers have told me. I hope I can combine the skills I have self-developed with the new skills I am willing to gain. I want to have increased my responsibilities, and I am a very adaptable person so I will be able to adjust to any changes with an optimistic approach.
