Experience
Peer tutoring, and outreach tutoring programs
I have been involved in organizing, and facilitating multiple peer tutoring projects, through my position as a student leader. For instance in 2017 a ran weekly peer tutoring sessions in which i would select course content which i considered to be particularly pertinent and then facilitate group discussion around the topic. I was also involved in a trail project in which 2nd and 3rd year students where matched up with 1st and 2nd year students respectively to act in the capacity of a mentor. Finally I also participated in the student run out reach tutoring program which centered around bringing varsity students to tutor at schools in disadvantaged areas.

Subjects taught
-
Statistics
I did a lot of maths in high school (math and math further Cambridge A levels), and got special permission to do maths major in the first year of my undergraduate (which I got a certificate of first class for), so i do know what I'm doing when it comes to maths, but I also understand that maths, at least as it's taught in most schools, isn't exactly everyone's favorite subject, and I have the patience to meet students wherever they're at in terms of their understanding of the subject and move with them from there.
