Volunteering at Paddington Academy - Robs story

Volunteering at Paddington Academy - Rob's story Robert H has recently completed his volunteer placement  at Paddington academy .    Robert supported  the students and staff of the English department, delivering 12 hours of free in-class support throughout  January and February 2016. Below are a few words from  Robert about his experience volunteering for Tutorfair. Having recently completed a voluntary placement at Paddington Academy, I’d just like to say how much  I’ve enjoyed the experience. All the staff have been very supportive and a great pleasure to work with, and in turn have really appreciated the extra hand in the classroom. It’s also been very rewarding  working with students with a variety of personalities and educational needs and this has made for a  great opportunity to extend my range of experience. While volunteering, I worked with two teachers, supporting each class  on alternate weeks.    I benefitted from this arrangement as  I got to teach 3  different modules and texts and was able to observe two different teaching styles. This kind of  assignment really highlights the  value of volunteering in education: as a Tutorfair volunteer  you  get some great hands-on experience whilst actively supporting pupils  in the attainment of their  educational goals.
