1) Why you would be a great tutor?
Besides having a good understanding of the subject, I would be great tutor because I am able to connect with other individual's well, their personality, learning style and needs. From this, I will guide and mentor the students to build on their knowledge, skills and abilities. I will go beyond the call of duty, to accommodate the students needs. This could for example include creating extra small quizzes and homework for the students, all depending on the student's best fit learning style. It is important for there to be a strong bond between a tutor and tutee, this is something I put a lot of emphasis on.

2) Details of relevant work experience
Though I do not have any professional experience with tutoring, I have often helped out friends when doing homework or during exam periods. This has always been one of my "hobbies" as I love teaching. For me, one of the greatest achievements in life is being able to pass on your own knowledge for others to succeed.

3) Details on your educational background
I lived in the Philippines for nine years where I went to an international school. I then moved to Denmark where I went to another international school and finished with an IB (International Baccalaureate) diploma. My classes during school included higher-level economics, biology and art, as well as standard level English, math and abinitio German. I am a current second year student at the University of Aberdeen studying a masters in economics and accountancy.

4) Hobbies and interest and personal ambitions
I love to swim, dance and the arts (photography in particular). I am currently the Danish representative in the Nordic society, part of the economics society and UNICEF. Being active and social has always been a big part of my life. I also took on the role of president for a charity club in Copenhagen during my final years of school. Helping others, either through teaching or charity work, has always been my ambition.
