Work Experience

  • Secondary School Mathematics Teacher
  • 2017-2025

    I have worked at multiple high schools both in England and China over the years.

    During my career as a mathematics teacher I have shown organisation with lesson planning and marking work.

    I have also demonstrated strong communication skills when working with both students and parents.

    Another trait I have shown is flexibility. It is important as a teacher to be flexible during lessons and adapt the lesson to maximise the learning of the pupils.

    Task priotisation is a massive part of being a teacher, as you get data deadlines, marking, lesson planning, communication home and many more tasks throughout the day. It is important to priotise the tasks that need to be completed the same day and what can wait until next week.

    In addition, I have experience working with data when tracking student progress and identifying areas for improvement.
