Tutoring Experience:

Throughout the 2017/2018 academic year, I have organised and delivered tutorials for the School of History in UCC. I also tutor extensively for the Mature Students Office and Skills Centre there, and I also conduct tutorials on a one-to-one basis privately for students of at both secondary and Third Level, from First year to final year.

Approach to Grinds:

As a current student, I can empathize with the many challenges and difficulties that may arise for Third Level students in particular. My experiences, both as a student and as a tutor, affords me the necessary interpersonal skills to help instil a sense of confidence in my students, enabling them to effectively implement the skills they are constantly learning and developing to solve particular academic issues.
