Information About Carla:
Personal Description:
I am an enthusiastic, friendly and responsible individual who is able to extremely effectively with both children,young people and adults.I possess the ability to handle challenging and diverse situations with patience and sensitivity, whilst maintaining a fun atmosphere. I am also highly organised and have excellent time-keeping skills. My voluntary experiences in challenging primary and secondary schools, which include both work in the classroom and participating as an after-school club leader, have cemented the passion and dedication I have for watching people blossom and succeed through learning.I am currently working as an English Teaching Assistant in a secondary school and have been tutoring privately since October 2012.
My strengths lie in teaching English, both the language and literature aspects of the subject, and this is reflected in my choice of degree.
Teaching Experience:
During my time at Cardiff University, I volunteered extensively at local schools, and gained a Millennium Volunteers qualification in recognition of my sustained commitment to the community.Below is a list of volunteer work I undertook:
December 2009-March 2010
Pyramid Club Leader, Bryn Hafod Primary School, Cardiff
Responsibilities: Planning and executing activities such as sports, games and arts and crafts with a group of roughly ten Year Three students in order to boost their self-confidence over a period of ten weeks. Interacting with children who have problems with their self-esteem, and improving their social skills and relationships with peers.
October 2009-May 2010
Llanederyn Phonics Programme Volunteer, Llanedeyrn High School, Cardiff
Responsibilities: Undertaking a weekly Phonological Awareness Programme with a small group of Year Seven students in order to improve their spelling skills. Many of the multicultural students had English as an additional language, and thus needed the extra support in order to improve across the curriculum.

Llanrumney High Read Readers Project Coordinator and Volunteer, Cardiff
Responsibilities: Coordinating twenty volunteers, organising their yearly volunteering timetable, dealing with any queries or problems the volunteers may have in liaison with teachers at the school.
