During my PhD, I worked as a postgraduate teaching assistant. I demonstrated in numerous practical classes where I provided helped small groups and individual students with their practical exercises. I taught on both UK-based and international field trips where I provided teaching support as well as pastoral care and first aid. I also lectured on the Regional Geology (2nd year geological map reading skills and a narrative history of the geology of the UK) module to provide cover for the long-term absence of a colleague. Additionally, I was a personal tutor to a group of 1st year undergraduates where I led small-group teaching sessions — mostly focussed on skills — and provided pastoral care and mentoring.
