• Academic Support Officer

  • Sep 2021 - May 2022

  I dealt mainly with students who had failed one, and often more, module in the previous semester. I was there to provide any and all assistance needed, from writing advice to support in negotiating the college's bureaucracy. This role often involved working with students in a degree of mental, emotional, and personal difficulty, so it required a large amount of tact, compassion, and ability to listen carefully and respond accordingly.

• Tutor & Occasional Lecturer

  • Sep 2017 - May 2022

  As a Tutor, I devised and implemented a class plan, based on a text or theme. I prepared discussion points, close reading samples, and provided further reading suggestions, while facilitating conversation. This role required administration, grading, and communicating with students via email. As an Occasional Lecturer, I prepared and delivered lectures based on a specific text, writer, or topic. I provided the context, addressed specific important aspects of the texts, and modelled close reading skills. Show less

• Writing Instructor

  • Jan 2021 - Apr 2022

  At the start of each session, students brought a piece of writing with which they had problems, or had already been marked. I provided specific comment on the piece of writing itself, and suggested strategies to improve their work processes. I also gave general writing advice, and any other support that may be required.

  • Oct 2020 - Apr 2021

  As a Teaching Assistant, each week I devised and implemented a class plan, based on a given text or theme. I prepared discussion points, close reading samples, and provide further reading recommendations. I allowed the conversation to go wherever was most fruitful, albeit within certain boundaries. This role also required administration, grading, and communicating with students via email. As a Teaching Assistant, each week I devised and implemented a class plan, based on a given text or theme.

Centre for Talented Youth, Ireland

• Residential Assistant

  • Jun 2013 - Aug 2013

  I was in charge of the pastoral care of several groups of students throughout two three-week courses at CTYI. I was responsible for their well-being from getting them up in the morning to making sure they were in their rooms at night, with the exception of their time spent in classes during the day. I also organised activities during the afternoon, evening, and weekends, with my colleagues. This work helped develop my teamwork, patience, understanding, and acquire an awareness of the importance of completing administrative tasks correctly. Show less
