Hey, I'm Mariana and I'm from Portugal. I am currently pursuing a Masters in Comparative Literature at SOAS University of London. I am looking for a part-time job to gain additional experience in the field of education. As soon as I turned 18, I started volunteering at a Lisbon-based NGO called AHEAD. Its purpose was twofold: academically tutoring disadvantaged youth, and also guiding them personally. That's why the volunteers were called mentors, instead of tutors. In a different context, I would obviously prioritise the academic part over the personal. However, these kids have no hope whatsoever for their future because they are surrounded by crime, drug trafficking and gang violence. This was the most enriching and gratifying experience of my life, and I will take those kids with me in my heart forever. Since moving to London on the 26th of September, I started tutoring a teenager online, preparing him to face his IGCSE's in English Literature and First Language Portuguese. I am looking forward to tutor more people and hopefully become a University Professor in the future. I can send you my CV, my police disclosure, references and academic diplomas (undergraduate, A level, AS level and IGCSE).
