Charlie C.

Hello! My name is Yasmine and I am finishing my 3rd year of my undergraduate degree, I’ve loved studying criminology and psychology, but my main interests are in criminology and cybercrime!. I really love English literature, reading and social psychology, as well as other crafty hobbies in my free time :) I have completed my 9 GCSEs C-A* including mathematics and English, A-levels in psychology, media studies and English literature, and currently in my final year of my undergraduate degree in Criminology and Psychology, with plans to focus on the areas of cybersecurity and forensic analysis after graduation.

I have worked as a lecturer at De Montfort University for over 15 years. I hold a PGCE in further Education, an MA in English Language Teaching, and a BA honours in English. I taught English for Academic Purposes at university. This enabled me to develop various teaching approaches at different levels of English usage. I have also taught KS3-KS5 in the UK and abroad during which I have been observed several times and demonstrated that I was outstanding. I have used various teaching aids ranging from pictures, flash cards, to a variety of IT techniques. I have also used peer interaction and assessment to develop learners. Teaching at university enabled me to teach presentation skills. This has enabled me to do the same during training, coaching and mentoring sessions with colleagues. I have mentored a number of tutors. In my experience as a university lecturer I have used a variety of online platforms to teach students during the Covid-19 pandemic. I began my journey into English in 2002 when I did a BA (hons) in English at Demontfort university. Following this I did an MA in Children’s Literature in 2005 due to my immense love of reading. However, it was only when I landed a job at a resources centre that I decided to specialize in teaching and so I did a PGCE in education and an MA in English language teaching both in 2007-2009. I absolutely love teaching since then - as cliche as it sounds it is truly my passion and the most rewarding thing I’ve ever done. I love my students and to see them excel truly makes me content. I’ve been told that I have a gift for building a rapport with learners and I to feel this is something that comes naturally to me because as a student I myself struggled with being misunderstood and branded as a ‘bad student’. I feel as a result I can relate to students and their struggles more easily. I’m also very patient and an excellent listener.

I’m a patient and dedicated medical student with a passion for helping others learn and grow. I enjoy explaining concepts in a clear and supportive way, adapting to different learning styles, and creating a positive environment that builds confidence and understanding. I have a strong medical academic background combined with a genuine passion for learning and helping others succeed. Throughout my education, I developed excellent communication, organisation, and problem-solving skills, as well as the ability to work independently and collaboratively. My studies required me to manage deadlines effectively, analyse information critically, and present ideas clearly and confidently. Alongside my academic experience, I have regularly supported others with their learning by explaining difficult concepts in a patient and approachable way. I enjoy adapting my teaching style to suit different abilities and learning preferences, ensuring that students feel comfortable asking questions and building confidence at their own pace. This has helped me develop strong interpersonal skills, empathy, and the ability to encourage and motivate learners. I am particularly interested in creating a supportive and engaging learning environment where students feel understood and encouraged to reach their potential. Through my educational experiences, I have learned the importance of patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement when helping others achieve their goals. I am also comfortable using technology and online resources to support learning and improve engagement. Overall, my educational background and experience have given me the skills, discipline, and enthusiasm needed to be an effective and reliable tutor who is committed to helping students progress academically and gain confidence in their abilities.
