I am an experienced freelance teacher who enjoys teaching people of all ages. I have had experience in various teaching roles since 2009 and am looking to further my career in the teaching industry and to work regularly in teaching.
I began teaching when I was an A Level student in college and have continued to teach since then. A more recent job was at Doc Fest, Europe’s largest documentary festival, where I was the photography coordinator. My role was to teach around a class of twenty plus, to take photos, to send them off to photograph the festival, the directors and delegates, and teach them how to edit the photographs to a high standard in order to send them off to press. I enjoyed this role because I was working with a diverse class of all ages. I felt inspired to continue this practice and recently finished working a similar role at Raindance Film Festival and London Short Film Festival.
My passion for teaching stems from my love of helping people. A teacher once said to me that I am always giving people good advice and ideas. I have thought about this a lot and I think teaching would be a great way to continue to do this and recognise my achievements and those of the people I have helped. I take a strong interest in languages; I read a lot and try my best to read books written by people all over the world so I can understand a diverse range of cultures and writing styles. I am also currently learning Spanish. I think being able to speak multiple languages is important and if I can have the opportunity to help others do this then I would love to be a part of the team.

Employment details - Doc Fest - Sheffield
Freelance - I started Doc Fest as a photography volunteer in 2015 and progressed to Photography coordinator in 2017-2019.
This involved organising the photography volunteers and their timetables.
Teaching a class of around twenty five volunteers how to correctly use a camera, how to photograph the events so they were respectful of the speakers and audience and how to upload and edit photos using Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom.

Employment details - Student Ambassador - Birmingham
Part Time - For part of the role I was given the opportunity to introduce AS and A Level students, in different College and schools around Cornwall, to their final A Level projects. I was also in charge of organising social events across my entire cohort at University, this included the years above me and below me, as well as, on occasion, events including families and friends.
The A level projects involved working with lots of young people aged 16 – 18. The social events were organised for 18+ but often my cohorts younger siblings would join in on the beginning and end of term activities including a boat trip, various exhibitions and a trip to the beach.
The A Level project was successful. I think teaching the A Level students at a University student was a really helpful way to engage with them because I was doing photography projects of my own which I used to help write my lesson plans for them. A lot of the time we would be in classes of students who didn’t seem keen to engage at the start of the workshops but would be really keen to get started on their new projects by the end of the day.
