Summary
I am a dedicated and organised university student eager to support young people's learning in diverse learning spheres. I am highly skilled at motivating students through positive reinforcement and am highly adaptable to meet individual student needs to foster a safe and supportive learning environment. After recently finishing a university teaching placement and thoroughly enjoying it, I am seeking to shift my career into more educationally focused settings to develop my future teaching skills and foster my passion for supporting children's educational needs.
