For the past five years, I have used a range of scientifically-backed techniques and learning strategies to achieve maximum possible level of comprehension, retention, and consolidation within the least possible time. Through my employment at Yipiyap, I was assigned to tutor a pupiI who I had been informed had missed almost the entirety of the past three years of school due to behavioural and background problems.
On the first day, he told me he had "pretty much never written an essay in [his] life”. Through the use of spaced repetition testing, Pareto analysis, Pomodoro time management, and mnemonics which exploit the von Restorff effect, I not only enabled him to catch up with his year 10 peers in all subjects within weeks, but also to meet high target grades and even begin surpassing his peers with advanced preparation for year 11 work.
I started my own life coaching company “Social Zen” in early 2014 to teach clients social dynamics on weekly basis. One way in which I love to engage in teaching social dynamics is through public speaking, and I have recently given a talk on the social effect of body language, and a talk about meditation, ego and their effect on social interaction, at the Crown & Anchor Pub in London.
I took this further by setting up and teaching my own meditation classes in central London over a 6 week course. I designed and coded my website, Social Zen, from scratch, where I publish articles on topics ranging from how to build up a social circle from scratch, to how subtext defines and affects the social interaction itself.
I am currently studying Sociology at the University of Manchester and have completed my first year, and I am looking for part time work as complementary experience towards my goal of becoming a teacher.

Tutoring Experience:
I worked as an intervention support tutor in Birchwood Community High School through my employment with Yipiyap, working closely with the behaviour support department. I taught English and French as a private tutor to ages 10 – 13 using a variety of learning techniques such as those which are used by the top polyglots in the world to achieve the maximum possible level of speaking, listening and writing fluency within the least possible time.
