CELTA qualified teacher: I am fully qualified English Language teacher at present doing voluntary work but looking to develop this further after my MA into a career. Past Education: St. Margaret’s C of E, Liverpool – Achieved 6 A Levels Grades A-B Christian Fellowship School, Liverpool – Achieved 9 GCSE’s Grades A*-B Working History • Red Leaf Language Camp, Elizondo, Spain Red Leaf is a publically funded scheme in Spain which aims to educate young people (in English) about their natural and cultural environment, emphasis being placed on conservation and preservation. I worked as a EFL teacher for Red Leaf during the Autumn of 2011, delivering a full timetable of lessons on a range of topics related to the ‘natural and cultural environment’ including lessons on cultural diversity, recycling, ‘Global Village’, the food chain etc. Teachers were encouraged to take students out of class and teach lessons ‘In The Field’ this involved taking students on daily excursions to local villages, farms, recycling centres, natural parks and on nature walks. The school worked on a continuous enrolment basis and teachers were responsible for student testing (oral and written), formulating class lists, lesson planning and student welfare issues. • Embassy Summer School, Oxford I was employed by Embassy CES to work at several of their their summer schools, namely Oxford, Brighton and London. Here I worked with a class of between 20 and 25 students, all non-native speakers of English in order to develop their language skills in a fun, new environment. I had certain administrative duties as well as teaching: testing student’s levels of English, forming class lists, looking after their passports/money/flight tickets as well as a number of pastoral duties. I was also responsible for the children on trips out to other cities, theme parks, tourist attractions and local villages. As this was a residential post I was also interacting with the students outside of lessons, observing and providing feedback on their progress to teachers above me. • DACE Programme, Swansea University I worked with the University while studying at Swansea on its DACE ‘Raising Aspirations’ Programme. This consisted of a series of classes for children from less affluent backgrounds, often from Mid or West Wales, to raise children’s aspirations as to the possibility of moving into University education. The day was structured around a series of activities which encouraged the children to debate and discuss various aspects of university life with the guidance of myself, a student. Also involved was a tour of the campus and informal lunch. During these days I was responsible for between 6 and 12 children and also involved a regular liaise with the event coordinator to report back on the student’s progress/enjoyment with an aim to continually develop and improve the programme. • Oakleigh House, Swansea Oakleigh house is a small prep school in Swansea city. Here I was taken on to work with a Japanese child newly come into the country on a one to one basis two mornings a week. I worked with him on his spelling and grammar in written work and then on pronunciation, colloquialisms and sentence structure in his verbal work. This post enabled me to develop skills in working one to one and, in tailoring my techniques for this purpose, I was able to distinguish the needs of the learner more clearly. • St Helens Primary, Swansea My time working at St Helens Primary differed to my aforementioned position as it was a school consisting primarily of children from ethnic minorities (90%). Here I worked more as a class assistant, not focusing on one student but more on the class as a whole. I assisted the students in their class work and accompanied them on extracurricular trips. This position on the whole gained me more experience in discerning the needs of learners and understanding the difficulties they come across in language acquisition. The variety of abilities in the class provided a spectrum to work amongst, widening in the process my understanding of ability. Personal Introduction # Skills and Interest I have a working knowledge of a full range of Microsoft applications, including Word, Access, Excel, Power Point, Publisher and Photoshop which I have had cause to use regularly throughout my degree and at work. I have had considerable experience in organising people through my position as supervisor at the Oxwich Bay and also through voluntary work I have been doing in Red Cafe, Mumbles. Here I work with children and young people, helping out with workshops and activities. I am the Social Secretary of the Swansea Mensa Group. This role makes me responsible for organising, coordinating and holding events and meetings in the Swansea area. As well as being quite an admin intensive position, being part of the Wales committee, I am expected to participate in and contribute to more regional, even national exec meetings quarterly. I am first Aid trained and competent in basic procedures. Generally, I am a very active, outdoors person and enjoy relaxing through cycling, walking and rock climbing, and am also an avid reader.
