I have experience working as a front end developer for sectors such as Public Sector, Retail business, Digital agencies and educational Institutions.
The technical stack included HTML, CSS, JavaScript, jQuery, Bootstrap, Scss, Less, Adobe, Git , Jira, Slack, Zeplin, Sketch, CMS, VS code, Microsoft Office etc.
My love for coding started when I completed a Web Development boot camp where I built my programming knowledge and practiced it with various projects and assignments. I collaborated on some of the projects as well as built others individually.
This led to several late night sessions, coding away madly on various projects.
I love when my front end code is translated into a working website for the users.
As a CV coach, I helped make candidates put their best selves forward to secure a job role. I also taught candidates work and life skills such as computer skills including Microsoft office, Video editing, how to email, pay bills online, etc.
Furthermore, I have experience working as a voiceover artist, translator and interpreter for various sectors such as NHS/GP, social work, education/schools, Home visits, etc.
Teaching Method:
My teaching method includes making a plan with my students and getting to know how they learn best. I give my lessons suitable to the learning pace of students starting from the basics. I adopt teaching styles that lead to better performance on assessments and better progress reports. I conduct the proper amount of planning and preparation to ensure my work is efficient and error-free. I encourage discussion and my students are encouraged to take an active role in the classroom which may include fun roleplay scenarios together, rather than taking part in more passive activities. I encourage open communication, curiosity, creativity and exploration. At the end of a lesson, I urge students to reflect on what they’ve learnt. I encourage students to ask questions and find answers by themselves first. The goal is for students to solve problems and discover information on their own. Upon learning about concepts, they can explain and present the concepts in their own words to further enforce them in their memories. This is a way for students to perform an active role in the learning process. Of course, I am ready to answer if the students struggle by themselves. Some students are more visual learners than others and I am more than ready to facilitate that when needed so they can absorb information and have a deep understanding of it. I also encourage students to learn from their experiences and mistakes so that they gain confidence when they have to repeat the same task but this time with the knowledge to complete it.
