English and Maths Teaching Assistant at an Independent School

My greatest strength is an ability to build respect in the eyes of the students. Under my leadership, even the most disruptive students eventually started to behave, or at least they did not disturb other students anymore.

Another strength I recognised within myself is my level of expertise with the subjects I deliver in intervention groups. I’ve published dozens of research papers, and continuously work on keeping my knowledge up to date. If the students really want to learn something from the subject, or be challenged I am tend to lead the lessons. I try to find a good balance between teaching something extra, and at the same time ensuring that students are getting it.
