Information About Babs:

Personal Description:

I am a young person who is at the end of a two year spell out of education that has included working at Merrill Lynch Investment Bank (Junior Risk Manager), the City of London Corporation (Admin. assistant), the Co-operative Labour Party (Junior Policy advisor) and at the London Nautical School as a voluntary teaching assistant. It has been an enjoyable time in which I have gained many life skills that have enabled me to grow in maturity leaving me well placed to go succeed at university.

I have decided to study Politics and History. This is because I am interested in being a policy adviser after university, and I feel History as well as Politics is an important base for any policy adviser.

Two of my many pastimes are debating and sport. I am currently a debate tutor to several students, and I enter competitions regularly myself. Currently, I am in the worlds top one hundred in terms of debate rankings.

Teaching Experience:

For the first six months of 2009 I worked with children as a Teaching Assistant at the London Nautical school. This has enabled me to shadow different teachers, so as to gain experience on various teaching styles.

My time as a Teaching Assistant has enabled me to understand which methods are best used to make communication with young people easiest in difficult as well as calm situations.

I am also a one on one debate tutor to several City of London Girls School students.

Tutoring Approach:

I like to set homework to the students I tutor so we have something to briefly go over at the beginning of every lesson that allows me to judge their progress. I then like to break the lesson down into groupings so the student has a target of what they should have learnt by the end of the lesson. To refresh their memory in between our next session I set homework on the topics learnt in the lesson.

I am a very calm and patient person, having learnt to always keep my cool from the many difficult situations I have found myself in in the past two years. Making sure I get my points across in a clear and concise manner is something I am able to do well due to my skills as a debater.
