English Tutor

I conduct tutoring sessions in the Student’s home to help them improve in areas of their study that they don't fully comprehend. I specialize in teaching GCSE English and 100% of my students say they have a better understanding of the English exam and are more confident in their abilities after having tutoring sessions with me.

Sep 2020 - Jun 2021
Volunteering with IT Schools Africa over the past 7 months has been a real privilege. Having the opportunity to work on a variety of different projects has allowed me to develop my design skills and has given me key experience working with clients. As someone who wants to enter the charity sector after graduating, this has proved to be an invaluable experience and I hope to continue to work with ITSA moving forwards.

Nov 2018 - Feb 2019
I designed a new sign help represent the new dog by-law that had recently been introduced to the area. I worked closely with the manager of the trust to create a sign that meet with the needs to the trust and met with the approval of the local council. I completed the project in a timely manner and my sign has now been taken forward into the production stage and should be displayed in the local area in the near future.

Jan 2019 - Jan 2019
I did a week's worth of work experience at Bristol Zoo, during this time I worked on a research project regarding an upcoming Sifaka Lemurs exhibit at the zoo. I then used the information I gathered during the research project to create signage for the new Lemur enclosure. I found this experience to be very rewarding as it gave me an insight into working in a In-house design environment.
