About Smita

I was inspired to teach by my own experiences at school; in particular by my Maths and science teachers. Above all they treated me as an individual, encouraging me to achieve my personal best. In Maths, a subject that I did not enjoy initially, my tutor used his sense of humour to teach us tricks and mnemonics to make learning interesting. Both were approachable and friendly and their honesty encouraged a sense of openness in the classroom.

I believe I would thrive as a teacher because of my own enthusiasm for and dedication to my subjects; coupled with my ability to relate to people in the 11-16 age group. I have tried to gain as much teaching experience as possible, beginning whilst in Y12 by attending Y9 and 10 English lessons as a classroom assistant. My positions as house and camp prefect enabled me to get to know the younger students outside the classroom. A trip to Kenya to assist in an orphanage and school allowed me to use these skills to encourage the Kenyan children to love communication and learning.

As teacher of English and Drama in the Edenfield Student Teaching Programme, I was able to teach children both practical and emotional expression. Edenfield is a summer programme consisting of classroom teaching and extra curricular activities, including sports and arts. It is aimed at non-English speaking students aged 11-14. The intensive nature of the course encourages meaningful relationships to develop and all the teachers were actively involved in personal and pastoral care. Conveying my own enthusiasm for my subjects helped the students develop more confidence and a better understanding of spoken and written English. I sought especially to find new ways of presenting familiar ideas, to ensure that my class gained as much as they could from the summer school. The positions of responsibility I held at Edenfield also included Head of the Drama faculty and radio media course and group leader. In these demanding roles I participated in planning the overall structure of the whole course, in addition to preparing lesson plans for my own classes. I have also worked with much younger children in summer courses at respected international pre-schools.

During my time at university, class discussion and open forum have proved useful when preparing my own written work and analysing that of others. I appreciated studying a wide range of texts, analysing period and context. I have also maintained a keen interest in extra curricular activities; including being an active member of the Children’s Theatre Company and attending Archbishop’s school weekly, for one term, to assist in their A-level drama classes. I learned a great deal from the classes and as a teacher I hope to continue discovering and learning along with my students.
