Skills and Interests

I enjoy running. At university, I was a member of the UCL Running, Athletics and Cross Country club and continue to regularly compete in races. I completed a half marathon in 2017 on behalf of the British Heart Foundation and participate in the Virgin Sport British 10K every year on behalf of the Commonwealth Girls’ Education Fund.

I love to learn new languages. My native languages are English and Gujarati, and I can speak Spanish at an intermediate level. In 2018, I participated in a scholarship programme to study Mandarin in Shanghai and am currently working on my Mandarin speaking skills.

In my spare time, I also like to read. My favourite books include A Thousand Splendid Suns, 1984 and Norwegian Wood.

Work Experience

As a legal affairs intern at the Afghanistan and Central Asian Association, I provided legal assistance for clients by writing appeals, contacting asylum help organisations and the council with regards to refugee, housing and immigration law. I also acted as a translator for Gujarati speaking clients, led a team of volunteers to organise a conference in Stockholm to raise awareness of the Swedish refugee crisis and delegated tasks accordingly, and wrote and proofread external communications and blogposts from the ACAA.

As a receptionist at Dave Opticians, I strengthened my interpersonal and administrative skills when interfacing with customers face-to-face, via email and on the phone and by completing tasks such as filing reports and reviewing financial documents.

· Volunteered at St. Luke’s Hospice Charity Shop, which has helped to strengthen my time management skills as I was juggling this with my GCSEs.

· During my time at Headstone Road Surgery and Greenfield Medical Centre, I enhanced my IT and administration skills.

· At the Royal Free Hospital, I was able to shadow doctors, from whom I have learnt how to efficiently organise tasks and prioritise. At Guy’s and St Thomas’ Hospital I developed interpersonal skills by working with a variety of people.

· Volunteering for the Harrow Association of Disabled People (HAD), where I taught English to children, has improved my leadership and communication skills.

· Whilst volunteering at The Willows care home I developed my ability to empathise.

· I have previously volunteered at a Sri Lankan girls’ orphanage- as well as teaching, I had the opportunity to interact with the girls and spend time with them.

Personal Statement

In many circumstances, education is solely based on learning to pass examinations. Whilst this is definitely necessary, I believe that the student should also be able to gain in-depth knowledge of the subject that will stick with them and motivate them to develop a core understanding of the subject. One of the key components in the process of learning is having an enthusiastic teacher who not only encourages students to learn in a fun and stimulating manner, but also inspires the student with their passion for their subject. As oppose to learning in a huge class of 30 pupils at school, tuition provides a safe, nourishing environment where the focal point is the student; thus, the student develops confidence and a deeper understanding of the subject being taught. Additionally, it is important to form a secure tutor-tutee relationship, whereby the tutee is able to trust the teacher and feel comfortable. As a tutor, I want to provide students with exam techniques and revision skills. Equally, I aim to fire up students’ imagination and help them think innovatively and identify their optimum learning technique. With this, I hope to help students relate topics to the real world and carry out extra research or reading. I currently specialise in the sciences. However, I am also able to teach other subjects and skills such as entrance examinations.
