Alumni news - Henry Smith

“I have been volunteering on a weekly basis as a teaching assistant for ESOL classes at the St Sidwell’s community centre in Exeter. These are free classes held for those who speak limited English and are taken almost exclusively by refugees and asylum seekers.

"As a teaching assistant I help the teacher with their exercises/examples and, when the students are carrying out written tasks, I go around checking on individuals who are struggling and talk them through their problem in a way that helps them reach the answer on their own. I support both beginner and foundation classes (depending on class size and turnaround).”
