summary of my experience

These experiences have given me a strong understanding of the structure and implementation of higher education (HE) teaching. I have also worked with a range of students (from GCSE to MSc) and gained an understanding of different approaches to HE through my own experience of completing an Access Course prior to starting my BSc. Understanding teaching styles and different routes into HE, means that I am able to tailor my teaching, based on the needs of students.
