I am a private maths tutor role that I saw, I am a second-year mathematics
undergraduate. My long-term goal is to teach maths at GCSE and A Level as I love the feeling of helping someone understand a concept. It is really rewarding to see someone have their ‘Eureka’ moment, and to watch them begin to enjoy maths a little bit more as a result. I experienced this when I worked as a tutor as a teacher’s assistant in a year 9 maths class, where my responsibilities were to help students work on the problems they were set. One instance in particular, I showed a pupil how I remember area conversions, and it was a proud moment for me as I watched them apply it and complete the work unaided.
You are the right employer for me as I want to join a dynamic team that can support my ambition to become a teacher and will give me a good basis of experience. This is the perfect environment for me to improve my skill range and to best prepare me for teacher training after I graduate.
During my time as a Maths tutor I greatly developed my spoken communication skills, often having to rephrase explanations to the students. I have also demonstrated that I am a good team player, as I often had to work with teachers to help prepare a learning plan for some students.
