Literacy Assistant

Summary

I have a background in Language Practice, having obtained my diploma in 2018. My passion for education grew while working as a literacy assistant at a university, where I taught academic writing to first-year students. This experience helped me realize my natural ability to teach and engage students, leading me to pursue a PGCE in English. During my teaching practicals in a rural school, I learned the importance of building relationships with learners, maintaining discipline, and creating an inclusive learning environment. I am committed to making a positive impact in the classroom by fostering a love for learning and strong language skills in my students.

Reading

I enjoy reading new things on the internet when I am not doing anything. I do not have a specific area of interest, I read whatever topic I come across and find interesting at that moment. This allows me to learn continuously and explore different perspectives on various subjects.
