WORK EXPERIENCE


Private Tutor for Tutora ((concealed information) January 2017 to present day

I have been teaching two regular pupils all year:
Kwanale B- (3.30 hours per week) teaching her how to understand, structure and write essays on the topics of History, Literature, Psychology and Sociology so as to help her to be accepted at her desired university.
Darius D (2 hours per week) - teaching him the principles of English grammar and conjugation in the different tenses (he is Lithuanian)
I have also given French and English lessons and have helped others to write strong essays for their university courses, but these were not regular weekly sessions.

Responsibilities:

• Understanding the topic material, whether it be grammar rules or the subject of the essay
• Identify the problems that the students are having with this subject
• Explain to the pupils in a clear manner what it is that they are doing wrong, and how they could improve
• Set exercises and challenges that push the pupils to master the new knowledge and remember it for next time.


Volunteer French teacher for Afghan refugees in Belgrade, Serbia – April 2017

Responsibilities

• Communicating my lesson to group of people, all with different levels of French and English, some of whom could not read in any language, not even their own.
• Making sure that the students who spoke only Farsi and no English understood what the word I was teaching them in French meant in their language. I did this through acting out the word's meaning or asking other students how to say a word such as "water" in Farsi so that I could translate directly.
• Teaching my students the western alphabet.
• Showing my students how to pronounce the French "E" and to notice the difference between "F" and "P", although these sounds were foreign to them
