I offered Physics and Maths tutoring for high school students studying for their National 5s, Highers or Advanced Highers.I secured my clients myself and was responsible for managing and scheduling my tutoring sessions. I worked with many clients from the beginning of the school year until their exams, meaning I was able to see their progress and tailor each tutoring session to the individual.

I was responsible for the selection and training of physics tutors for the University of Glasgow's International Physics Summer School. I continually monitored their performance and gave constructive feedback on how they could improve their sessions, as well as listened to their feedback on how the senior staff team were supporting them.I was also responsible for this years Engineering Cohort - a group of 22 students studying science and engineering majors from various University of… Show more I was responsible for the selection and training of physics tutors for the University of Glasgow's International Physics Summer School.

I ran tutorial sessions for them throughout the summer school to facilitate their learning. The students responded positively to my sessions and all performed well throughout the summer school.

I was responsible for training this year's peer tutors at the International Summer school and offered them additional support throughout the course. I gave continuous feedback to the tutors and helped them devise strategies on how to improve their tutorials.I also helped teach the students by facilitating their full class tutorials and by holding extra tutorials for students on the engineering stream. Additionally, I marked the students' weekly tests and lab reports.

I returned to the summer school to work as a peer tutor again. Along with the same responsibilities as last year, I acted as a senior member of the tutoring team meaning that the other tutors relied on me for advice and guidance in their roles. I also acted as the social convener for the duration of the students' stay, organising events for almost 100 students.

I worked in a team of tutors, which helped me improve my teamwork and interpersonal skills. I developed leadership and public speaking skills as I was personally in charge of a group of 7 students. Additionally, I had to complete a reflective report at the end of the placement discussing what I had gained from the experience and how I felt it could be improved in future years. Show less
