Work history

Volunteer

Mercy2Humanity
12.2022 - 06.2025
  • As a volunteer with Mercy2Humanity, I delivered creative workshops including henna and arts and crafts for children in under-resourced areas, using these sessions to encourage expression and build connections.
  • Alongside teaching, I assisted in distributing essential aid.
  • Overall, these experiences deepened my empathy and shaped my belief in inclusive, culturally responsive teaching.

Private Tutor

10.2022 - 06.2025
  • Over the past few years, I have been offering private tutoring sessions from home, this experience has grown alongside my development as a trainee teacher, allowing me to apply my increasing subject knowledge and classroom confidence in a one-to-one setting.
  • As I gained more experience teaching across different year groups during my university placements, I became more confident in adapting content to suit each child's learning style, needs, and ability.
  • Through tutoring, I have learned how to create personalised resources, track progress over time, and maintain positive relationships with both children and their parents.

Teacher Trainee

04.2023 - 05.2025
  • During this time, I have completed four placements across different primary schools, gaining invaluable hands-on experience in a variety of educational settings.
  • I have taught a wide range of year groups, including Nursery, Year 1, Year 3, and Year 5, with each placement bringing increased responsibility and independence.
  • Across these year groups, I have developed strong skills in lesson planning, curriculum delivery, classroom management, and formative assessment.
  • I have adapted teaching methods to suit the developmental needs of different age groups, used effective behaviour management strategies, and built positive relationships with pupils, teaching assistants and parents to foster engagement and learning.
  • For example, through observations, I have seen and used varied behaviour management strategies including sticker charts, countdown clocks, clapping etc.
  • Working with both early years and upper Key Stage 2 has helped me build a flexible teaching approach, understand the full progression of learning, and appreciate the unique challenges and rewards of each stage.
  • These varied experiences have enhanced my confidence, creativity, and ability to differentiate effectively, preparing me to step into the role of a classroom teacher.
